Instructions
 

Pecan Pie

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place pecan pieces on a tray and place in oven for 3 minutes to toast.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs well and stir in corn syrup, sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt.
  • Fold pecans into mixture and pour into the pie shell.
  • Bake at 350° for about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge of the pie comes out clean.
  • Allow pie to cool before slicing.

Chocolate Jack Daniels Ice Cream

  • Place cream and egg yolks in a double boiler and cook until mixture starts to thicken slightly, stirring continually.
  • Remove from heat as soon as you are able to draw a line across the back side of a spoon that has been dipped in the cream mixture.
  • Add sugar, chocolate, and Jack Daniels; stir until sugar and chocolate are melted.
  • Allow mixture to cool and pour into an ice-cream maker, following manufacturer's instructions.
  • (Note: Due to alcohol content, the ice cream may not set up completely in the ice-cream maker and may need to be placed in the freezer for a few hours prior to use.)

Chicken-Fried Pecan Pie with Chocolate Jack Daniels Ice Cream

  • Set out 3 bowls and place flour in first bowl, milk and eggs mixed together in second bowl, and Japanese breadcrumbs in third bowl.
