  9. Comments: "This is an old family recipe which we make every Thanksgiving holiday," says Linda. "My family lives in Oklahoma and when I was a child, we would pick up the pecans which had fallen off the trees after the first frost to use in this pie as well as other delicious treats." It's wonderful served hot or possibly at room temperature.
