A Thanksgiving feast is not complete without desserts. A slice of pie brings family together and is a sweet conclusion to this annual holiday.

For your enjoyment, here’s a pecan pie recipe, which you can add to your repertoire of homemade sweets. It’s taken from our Nomadic’s “Family Recipes” book.
