My mom, my sister-in-law, and I were discussing which desserts to serve after Thanksgiving dinner. My mom and I had been confident that pumpkin pie was a given, so we were taken aback by my sister-in-law’s requested pecan pie. Maybe pumpkin wasn’t everyone’s all-star pie choice. We bought the ingredients for both pies, though I was suspicious of the corn syrup. Pumpkin pie used familiar ingredients, and now pecan pie was bringing corn syrup into the equation.
