Pecan Pie without corn syrup & Ambrosia Fruit Salad, 5 days of a Thanksgiving menu!

[@DrLesleyStevens]

Thanks for doing this Lori. It's a lovely vacation from the tense situation that we are all facing. And for leaving politics out if it. It's nice to have an escape.

[@patriciacarney1502]

I was thinking the same thing.😊

[@BairbreFaye]

You have the coziest kitchen!

[@davikaercher4340]

I love your calm approach to cooking, you are appreciated. Most of your recipes are real food and not overly processed. Thank you for providing good home cooking. I look forward to your videos. Please keep your wonderful food coming!

[@geraldineross5168]

Miss Laurie I am a person who started cooking at seven years old and fed eight people in the family after school. My Step mother did not like to cook, actually she was a terrible cook. So I took over and I am 74 years old today and still love to bake and cook thanks to my amazing Russian Grandmother. I love watching you cook and bake you remind me of myself same cooking style! ❤️❤️❤️

[@scruffy0928]

My mom taught me to make a variety of good quality foods for guests, cooked as you like it. It's just one meal, you aren't feeding them forever, and if they are not satisfied they can fix themself something when they get home. Takes the anxiety to be perfect away.

[@MamaKatsTexas]

So Miss Lori, I went to make my pecan pies today, didn’t have cream so I made another recipe....dear Lord!! What a BIG mistake!!! It was one using corn syrup and needless to say, it didn’t work, I don’t know how but I ended up making candy!! So, a quick trip to Dollar General to grab some heavy cream quick and back to make YOUR recipe. I will never make another recipe but this one again!!! Easy peasy and they turned out great, including setting up in the middle! Thank you so much Miss Lori for a keeper recipe and saving my Thanksgiving desserts!

[@fannieallen6005]

My friend cooks the brown sugar pecan pie and it is so good. I love ambrosia! Everything looks delicious. Have you considered writing a cookbook? I would buy one. God bless.

I can't get corn syrup here in Bavaria so I appreciate the resapie a lot! I even got Cub measurements cubs🤣 My granny is sadly way to ill, to still be cooking or baking. Listening to you and seeing you work gives me a warm feeling I have missed so so much. Mr. Brown and you radiate so much love and appreciation it's like a warm fire! Stay safe!!

My Grandma made delicious pecan pies in her woodburning cookstove. She also made coconut cakes with fresh coconuts. She also used the "milk" in the coconut. The other was an egg custard pie. She had chickens and a milk cow. I think that was the reason we as always had the egg custard pies. These 3 are my favorites. I always think about my wonderful Grandma when I eat these desserts or a recipe for them. Thanks for the sweet memories today. Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🥰👌👍😋🙏🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@mamamode1312]

Any chance for that Cocoanut cake recipe?

[@glendavertner8906]

@@mamamode1312Sorry, I wish I had it. My Grandma died in 1973. I never saw her use a recipe. If there were recipes I don't know who got them. She had 7 children. Her icing was white and fluffy, maybe a Royal Icing, it was similar to meringue. The cake itself was a white cake. She probably added milk to the "coconut milk" to make enough liquid for the recipe. Also butter instead of lard. Not sure if Crisco was around then???? I know I never saw cooking oil, even in my mom's kitchen growing up. My mom was not a baker, but a good cook nor was I. Believe me, I would learn to bake her cake and pies. Grandma was a plain woman and she cooked that way, but it was all delicious.

[@glendavertner8906]

She also shredded the coconut and put It on the sides and top of the cake. Forgot to add that in on the previous comment

[@tonibauer2949]

I have often thought how skilled those women were who could cook all sorts of things in a wood burning stove. No setting of a temperature dial, just experience and knowledge as their guide. Amazing.

[@glendavertner8906]

Grandma even chopped her own wood for the cookstove. None of us could chop up the wood like she did. It was unreal how quick she got the job done. THAT IS A HARD JOB😂🤣🤣😅

[@DrLesleyStevens]

Toast the pecans for like 7 minutes in the oven first, it turns the flavor up.

[@susiethomas6909]

Lesley Stevens Good tip!

[@MasterMichelleFL]

I toss my pecans in a saute pan with the cinnamon, just toast it all up a little to "wake up" the flavors 😋 I've also added a little maple syrup for flavor. (Don't overdo it!! Just until you smell the flavors.)

[@DrLesleyStevens]

@Hal Hoskins yeah they don't all float to the top. That makes no sense.

I do not like pecan pie made the traditional way so I made this instead. It was SO GOOD! Nobody complained that there was not traditional pecan pie, because they were too busy enjoying the new way I will make pecan pie from now on. Seriously it was delicious. I had no leftovers. Thank you Lori

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Wonderful!!!!

[@tw3609]

It's nice to know that pecan pie can be made with sugar instead of syrup. By the way, I love your pottery.

[@Forevertrue]

I love High fructose corn syrup I grew up on it. I am 72 I'm not dead because of it. Nor Iodized salt with non caking ingredients. I do not get 5 helpings of leafy greens per week so I use Iodized salt and so should you. SO should your children. Love your videos.

[@TheKatherine1958]

👋🏼- I always make ambrosia for Thanksgiving. So glad you included this recipe! I’ve never tried it w/sour cream but it sure looks good! And that pecan pie! Oh my goodness. I’d have a slice now if I could! 😊 I have a pumpkin praline pie recipe that I haven’t made in years-since the first year I took over making Holiday Dinners after our Mama passed...I overwhelmed myself that year! Lol. But I’m gonna make it this year. It’s been about 21 years since I’ve made it. 🤞🏼 we’ll see if it’s as good...lol

[@leahzeiters8905]

Ambrosia reminds me of my grandmother.

[@Mirrokash]

Love your opening! It’s so uplifting! Really puts a smile in my heart and face!

[@susiethomas6909]

I remember having Ambrosia salad (I didn’t even know what it was called) at every Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner when I was a kid! I loved it! I haven’t eaten it since around 1980 when my family suddenly stopped making it for some reason. Well, I’m bringing back the tradition! Thanks for the recipe! 💕

[@siege919]

My mother made this and several other fruit salads at least once a week. And bread pudding.

[@eddieandmaryproctor4476]

This is the recipe I have been waiting for since I started to follow you Ms. Lori and I’m sure my first pie will not be my last. Thank you so much love Mary from England

Hello from Clemson,South Carolina!

[@greeneyedflower2408]

You know where all the good stuff is at Lori! Ambrosia salad is the best!

[@kpduty7498]

One way to always have a crisp bottom crust in your pie, never soggy. Stick a large cast iron skillet in the oven as it is preheating as you're preparing the pie. When the pie is ready to bake, set it in the hot cast iron skillet. It catches any over-flow and has always given me a crisp crust, which I could never do before. To make clean-up easy, line the skillet with foil before heating. So easy. I found a large Lodge cast iron skillet that holds a 10" pie plate with room to spare. Also use it for cooking those frozen mini quiches. Browns the quiches perfectly and elevates the flavor. Love your videos!!

[@barbboettcher1733]

[@sueg.k.6377]

Just an FYI - we are able to find corn syrup that is NOT "high-fructose corn syrup" and is therefore safe to use. I believe we've even found it at Walmart. Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes! I always make my mama's pecan pie (with corn syrup) but I may have to break tradition and try this one for this season.

[@debm460]

You use: 1 c Sour Cream 1 c Whipped Cream 1 c Mandarin Oranges 1 c Mini Marshmallows 1 c Sweetened Coconut And whatever else you feel like throwing in there. Let it set over night and yum, yum, yummy!! It's so good!! Thank you ma'am, for sharing your thoughtful recipes and taking me back to my Grandparents kitchen. You'll never know what it means to me.

Hi Miss Lori, thank you for making the ambrosia salad. It was one of my favorite fruit salads that I had forgotten about. My sister always made it and is was delicious. I had everything in my pantry so I made one today for dessert today. I can’t wait to dig in! And again this year I will be cutting up my turkey and roasting it per your instructions I saved from last year. What a winner it was, I will never roast a bird again unless it’s cut up. I did an 8 pound roasting chicken Sunday following the same method, it was delicious. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos, even an old cook at 63 is still learning. God bless and have a wonderful Thanksgiving? You and Mr Brown are just so darned cute together. 😊

Even though pecan pie is still a favorite!
