Follow the recipe on the back of the Karo Syrup bottle, AND add a glug of Amaretto Liqueur (like Disaronno). Amaretto is the flavor of Dr. Pepper. Put Amaretto liqueur in Coke to make a near-exact clone of Dr. Pepper… with booze. Amaretto takes pecan pie to the next level.

And, yes, OF COURSE the crust is made with lard. I’m mildly offended that the question even had to be raised.

Happy continued Thanksgiving to one and all.

Lean into it, because the penitential season of Advent begins tomorrow!
