This looks the best if you use entire pecan halves. I have even arranged the pecan halves in concentric circles, which was way too much work but looked spectacular. I think the halves are too big and the pie tastes better if the pieces are smaller. I have been thinking cutting the halves into quarters lengthwise would still look nice but be smaller than halves.<br />

Adding the maple syrup and vinegar adds a subtle note of complexity.

This was one of the best pecan pies I've ever made! The maple syrup added the nicest, most subtle touch of flavor, and I didn't have to arrange the pecans in concentric circles to make an impression.
I didn't want to share. :o)

This wa a nice recipe, but I added Bourbon to replace the maple syrup for a truly authentic Old- Fashioned Southern pecan pie. Try it, you'll like it.

I make a fool of myself in the kitchen even though I like to eat and watch Emeril all the time. Two days ago, wrapping up our Thanksgiving shopping, my wife wants to buy a store bought, Mrs Smith's Pie. Non-starter! I love pecan pie, and decided to bake one myself. Your recipe was spot-on, and everyone loved it. In fact, I'm going to bake another in a few minutes. This is about as close to Mom's secret recipe as I'll ever come. Concur that the maple syrup is the reason it tastes so good.
