The sweet, gooey and nutty pie is simply a southern staple. It\u2019s a given during the holiday season, but you can enjoy pecan pie any time of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the original pecan pie recipe, our bourbon pecan pie recipe adds a twist: you guessed it, bourbon. A good-quality bourbon boasts notes of vanilla, spice and caramel thanks to the in-barrel aging process. When it&#8217;s baked, the alcohol in bourbon cooks out, leaving those delicious flavors behind. The sharp spice of bourbon&#8217;s flavor profile helps balance the intense sweetness of the pie&#8217;s filling.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Bourbon Pecan Pie<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2010645 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Bourbon-Pecan-Pie_TBZ24_61881_DR_06_13_11b-e1719829163419.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Overhead shot of all the ingredients for Bourbon Pecan Pie; marble background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pecans:<\/strong> Use pecan halves for this pie.

Use a dark corn syrup for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Use unsalted butter for this bourbon pecan pie recipe. Since you\u2019re melting it, it doesn\u2019t have to be at room temperature or soft.
