Pecan – Date Pie (for Mrm)
This is for Mrm, who requested EASY recipes. My friends, good cooking CAN be easy, and with rare exception, all my recipes are EASY. The treasures are the recipes which are EASY and yummy, too. This one is so rich and so sweet that people can’t resist it – they go back for more, and they want the recipe. It was sent to me by one of my Southern friends – they always have the best recipes!
The hardest part of this recipe is getting the seeds out of the dates – but it only takes a half cup full of dates, and that isn’t much.
Pecan – Date Pie
1/2 cup whole pitted dates, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 T. all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
Sprinkle dates and pecans over crust. Combine corn syrup and next 5
ingredients in a bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed until well
blended. Pour into prepared crust. Bake at 325 degrees F. (180 degrees C.)
for 55 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve
with whipped cream.
“Pour into prepared crust” – Hohohohohoho – if you can find a prepared crust in Kuwait!
But you can find digestive biscuits/ graham crackers, so make this easy easy crust – crush about 1 cup of the crackers/biscuits, add 1/4 cup medium chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press into the bottom and a little up the sides of a BUTTER greased pie tin.

Mrm is probably going to tell me to make it for her :p
yes, chirp will have to make it for me a few times while i watch. yknow for practice π hehe
thankoof intlx, i really appreciate it!
do we make in a pie plate?
LLLOOOLLLL, Chirp, this one is SO easy!
Oh, Mrm, you clever, lazy little manipulator! I think Chirp needs to make it and feed it to Emaciaty, while you drool.
Yes, Chirp, it is baked in a pie tin/plate. Please take a picture when you finish and before you eat it all up!
Sounds yummy; I’m going to give it a try. So, is a “prepared crust” in the original recipe a graham cracker (digestive) crust, or a regular pastry crust?
I assumed it meant a flour crust, but all that rolling and sticking, unnnhhh, uh, not me. If I can buy one frozen, maybe, not that just isn’t possible here – have you seen frozen crusts in Qatar?
The crumb crust works great, really great. π
[…] I usually keep a little corn syrup on hand, but I also use it a lot – remember that Pecan-Date Pie? […]
Thank you for the recipe! But where can I possibly find pecans in Kuwait?!
Right now – run to the Sultan Center! Run to the Co-Op! They DO carry pecans, and they carry them in preparation for Ramadan and sometimes for “festive occasions” (we call it Christmas or Easter π but they do carry them) Run! Do it now! If you don’t see them, ask when they are coming in. They ARE coming, and now is the time!
