This is a simple, tasty variation of a Southern Pecan Pie. By replacing some of the corn syrup with Kahlua, or any coffee flavored liqueur, the pie is not as sweet and has a wonderful aroma. Because the alcohol burns off during baking, the entire family can enjoy this pie. Cost can vary depending on when and where you buy pecans. I prefer to buy them directly from the pecan growers and then freeze them for later use. I also buy the smallest bottle of Kahlua, as it will make two to three pies.
