Pecan Pie in a Jar: Entertaining and Homemade Gift Giving Series 

Karo syrups (both dark and light) are NOT HFCS. That is a common misperception. They are simple corn syrup which has been made for a very long time and is a different beast than the awful HFCS. Dark and light Karo-type syrups are inverted sugars which can help greatly with stabilizing some desserts (like your pecan pie you recall from childhood). Just trying to help. Thank you for sharing with lucky us.

This sounds great to do in those little bitty jars for icecream topping for one or two people. 😋 Love your channel ❤ 💕

Honestly…if I got this as a gift, I would open it up and eat it straight from the jar! It looks delicious!

I'm excited to see your low sugar or sugar free version as I am a diabetic and this looks delish.

Love your style of tutorial making and am so glad I came across it. Pecan pies bring me back to my childhood. While my mom was preparing food the day before Thanksgiving. Dad used to take us all 5 kiddos to the park to pick pecans for the pecan pies and after filling several grocery store paper bags filled with pecans we would shell them (with our teeth 😂) that evening while watching movies. Finally after dinner, mom would give us a quick dessert (after dinner) of our fruits of labor by making a quick dessert with pecans and Aunt Jamima pancake syrup slathered over some Vanilla ice cream. Those were such great memories we still talk about as adults in our 50s & 60s. Thanks for sharing your videos and channel. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Love this recipe. Nice to see you husband enjoy the pie. I have and easy crust recipe for making mini pecan pies (2 bite) baked in mini muffin pans. 3oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup or 1 stick butter, 1 cup flour. Cream together butter and cream cheese. Stir in flour. Mix then chill 1 hour. Roll into walnut size balls and pressing into mini muffin pans using your thumbs to come up the sides. Add filling. Bake at 325 degree for 25 min. Makes about 25. I have found so many Ramakins at thrift or goodwill stores. Scored 4 Red LeCreuset, never used, at our local church garage sale.

Tarts would be lovely since we usually don't finish a whole pie.

What a great idea…thanks for sharing it with us. I noticed when you were cooking the sauce you said you need to simmer for 5 minutes. It appeared that you had a full rolling boil for 5 minutes which would cook it down much more and bring the sugar to a higher temperature which could make it harder to get out of the jars. I’m not sure but just an observation! I just found your channel so I’m catching up on your older videos and I’m enjoying it immensely.

I have made this twice and gave as a Christmas gift to family. Excellent flavor and texture in pie. Put whipped cream with it. Oh so good.😊

This is a wonderful idea! I’m adding it to my canned gift baskets next Christmas! Probably should be set in a hot water bath in order to pour it from the jar. If making the small individual pies, you could use the small frozen crusts, wonton wrappers in a muffin cup or gluten free vanilla cookies in the bottom of a muffin cup.

I canned this recipe a while back. Right now I have a pecan pie in the oven. I also had a hard time getting it out of the jar. I put the jar in the microwave for thirty seconds and it came out very easy. Barb

I am a 65 yo South African empty nester and I confess I would gladly take 3 of those pint jars from you and not waste a crumb/drop!

Love this idea. I think I would chop the nuts smaller, can in quarter pints and use as ice cream topping 😊

This looks good! I think I may try it in empanadas 😋

Thank you for sharing this recipe! David is so sweet to be our taste tester. 😋

I have a 6" pie plate, I love making small pies for just me and my husband.

French toast topper

A beautiful gift

looks fabulous.

Anything pecan I’m in!! This sounds fantastic

Yum!

This is wonderful! Never knew there's such a variety of things that can be canned.

Carter I love your show and fallow like a blind man.. keep it up

I just bought the same canner, and I love it!! I've run 4 turns through it on yesterday and today!! This recipe looks wonderful!!

Love using myPresto Canner and love Pecan Pie

I'm canning up stuff from the freezer all week so I'm going to binge all your videos while I do it. Think I'm adding this for my hubby. We just finished our own syrup.

This is a wonderful gift idea! I agree, I think the 4 oz container is the perfect size for a cocktail party dessert. It does look very decadent. Thank you for sharing this recipe!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I’m loving your channel …

I saved this and made it and I’m so happy with it I also ordered book. Thank you Carter

I have put the canning book in my save for later on Amazon for ordering next month. I want to make that pecan filling for the next holidays.

Carter thank you for the discount code on the lids. I placed an order. So happy you got an electric canner. I look forward to learning with you. Also, think this would be perfect in the little Mason jar shot glasses for your party or as topping on mini cheesecakes.

The pecan pie was delicious.

I’d love it…

Ohh my gosh I have been binging on your channel loving the different recipes and your suggestions. Ohh my gosh this pecan pie filling looks so good and love the small canning sizes who would have thought? Makes it wonderful when it’s something only I eat. Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.

I made a pecan pie from Gay on Apron Strings' recipe. It was Delicious the filling was moist and had a lot if it. . I'm going to try yours as well. FYI. I watched all your Ads. To help you out. Can't wait for all your new recipes

I can taste this WOW!!! I’m thinking vanilla ice cream topper ❤😎

I think I would buy or make some short bread cookies and place one in the bottom of one of those really small/ short jelly jars then fill them with the filling. Lid them and tie a small desert spoon to each jar with some kind of twine. Display them on a cute tray as individual desert cups. 😀

This would be delicious as a baked Brie topping!!!

Yes ! I want it in a full jar( even if I lived alone I’d want a full jar ) 😂😂

I think I would spray some Pam or other nonstick spray in jars before filling them. I do believe that would make it easier to empty the jars! Just a thought! I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Love your beautiful kitchen also!

Would love to try th I s.

I lived with a diabetic and would make him Pecan Tassies with Almond and coconut flour. Press the shortbread into a mini muffin tin with a flat bottomed shot glass. I also used Stevia in place of sugar. This was a real treat for him with a little sweet and very small, so he could regulate his intake. Sometimes I would drizzle dark chocolate over the top. I would also use sliced almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts and walnuts. When the shortbread was pressed firmly, prebaked for 10 minutes, there were no crumbs and it was 1 bite for him (2 for me). I also used Stevia in the shortbread, which requires very little. It is a nice party item. I make a lot of candies, so I would not cook the mixture as long before adding the nuts. That is what causes the crystallization. It will continue to cook while you can it. I really like the idea of having a quick throw together pie. Thanks for the ideas. I am going to have to get the book and play with it. BTW I do prefer rum in place of the bourbon. Now you have time to do the fun stuff like this. The harvest is done.

This looks delicious! Great party ideas too. Maybe if you set the jars in a pot of hot water for a minute or two, it may make getting it out of the jars easier.

Half pint, would be perfect for 2 and I think will make a mini pie ❤ awesome and thank you

Mini Pecan Pies, in muffin tins would be divine. With a biscuit crumb base

20:23 I love the forjar lids. The Ball hasn't been good lids for a while.

Hello Carman, I love your channel and watch all of them as I have time. You said in one video that your outside access to your pantry was difficult to get to in bad weather. Have you thought of using a closet to remove the floor and put stairs down into your food storage area? Your husband seems like a wonderful builder! Shirley

This looks so good. Too bad to be to be allergic to pecans. Hope every one enjoys it during your party.

I'd want it to fit in 2 personal, small pie crusts 😋😋

I just found your video even though I’m a subscriber. I think I just don’t get a notice. But I could eat a whole pecan pie myself! It’s my favorite!!

yup, i'd definitely soak in hot water for like 10 min or so before trying to get it out

This looks wonderful. I am going to try this ad gifts. I can't eat sugar anymore

I will be making this soon with both pecans and walnuts. I think if you set it in boiling water while making the egg butter mixture it would come right out. Thank you again for more ideas. I'll be using it for tassie cookies, pie, and cheesecake! My freezer thanks you as it is overflowing with nuts lol!!!!

I would microwave jar to loosen mixture and bake some in mini filo cups and some in mini silicone muffin cups.

If you have a problem with burning nuts you should try using a microwave to lightly toast. You can control it better, 1 minute at a time, shaking the nuts in between to distribute the heat.

Yes, add a shortbread cookie or even a sugar cookie... but you have to make them.... make a Graham Cracker... something like that... in a shape that would complement the container... then just slide down the inside of the ramekin and stick up out of the top. Adds texture flavor and dimension to the dish. Could even just put a short bread cookie in bottom as crust for each spoonful.

Your husband is such a character

Great videos!😊 Thanks so much. Just FYI recipes are not copyrighted, just the text around them.

Hi Carter! Been binging on your videos. Love your channel! Would love to try this recipe. Did you have the measurements for the bourbon and the vanilla? I might have missed it. Thanks so much for sharing! 🌹

I know you ran hot water over the jar to help loosen the dessert, also a suggestion is to run hot water over your knife (which I use a sturdy plastic knife) and it will help with the loosening.. Just came across your videos Monday night (today's Wednesday) and watched your Brunswick Stew recipe again tonight along with your New Electric canner demonstration.

Great video! Do you have any suggestions of how to ship these jars of Pecan Pie? I'd like to send them as a birthday gift to loved ones. Thanks.

What about a Cookie dough like sugar using Splenda and there for use c9kie dough

I’m in for the dijon

YUMMMMM just came across your channel and loving every video. Hubby is diabetic and i was wondering where can i find the recipe for your low sugar low carb pecan pie recipe. Also you said you mix your pecan pie mix with eggs for a tart???

He looked pretty happy in the photo you used. 😅

Question: you said David is gluten free? Those sub rolls from the sandwich videos looked amazing, can you share where you got them? Thank you!! Carter, i just found you a couple of days ago and am so inspired to start putting sandwich fixings on the shelf, i want to make the beef burgundy, and now this!!! ❤❤❤

Looks delicious You might want to consider leather gloves for working with the hot jars Just a thought Love what you are sharing

I suppose if I got a pint as a gift…I could use 1/2 for a date night & freeze the other half for a future Date night! Oh, BTW…What size electric canner is that? I’ve been looking into them…but don’t know what size to buy

Using utensils will crack or scratch the glass warm the jar in warm or hot water. That will safely loosen the pecan mixture.

I would DEFINITELY wash the lids and rings in warm soapy water before using them!!

Could I use my pecan pie recipe which includes butter and eggs, can the pecan pie filling in electric canner as you have shown in this wonderful video? I would be ready to pour the filling directly into pastry shell and ready to bake the pie.

Hi Carter. Rewatching this again. I think you mentioned you cut back on how long it processes so the pecan filling liquid would be at the top of the jar as well. Did you change time later on as you made more of this? Don’t know if I have missed a follow up utube video abt this and the cookbook you used and if you thought cookbook was a good one after trying some of the other recipes. Thanks Mary W

I would make vanilla bean ice cream balls and pour over the top.

Definitely trying this recipe! Question: Does the pots you have the link listed have thick bottoms?

I have been wanting to try pie filling in a jar! Love the idea of it already to go. And, I haven’t seen this book so excited to see your results and thoughts. I find many of the recipes I’ve tried in canning books are not in line with Southern tastes, if that makes sense. Question: could the mixture have been cooked a tad too long and that’s why it was so “candied” on top or is this normal for pecan pie filling? It looks like being hard to get out didn’t hurt the end results by any means. 😁

When you take the jars out like that don’t they cool down too much before filling? I am a first time canner so trying to figure out all the correct procedures. Thanks

Just discovered your channel- hubby & I are binge watching, we can or dehydrate 90% of our food stock. You will love that cookbook, Not your mama's, have made a great deal out of it but not this pecan recipe. Will be a good recipe for Russ, he loves pecan pie but I don't. Is your hubby from South Carolina? He's wearing a state palmetto tree hat. We lived 27 years between upstate & Charleston, now live in Pensacola. Susan & Russ Cornish

Did you do the sugar free version? I have been Keto for a year and lost over 115 lbs!!! So I'm really interested in the sugar free recipe. I love allulose and Victoria's Keto Kitchen on you tube. I'm curious about chutney as well as the mustards.

I have the Nesco electric pressure canner. My instructions says to add 8 cups of water and this amount doesn’t cover the jars with pressure canning using pint jars and will hold 5 pint jars. Are the instructions to cover the jars with water for your brand of pressure canner?

`i didn’t hear where you mentioned the amounts of vanilla and bourbon. Would you please reply? Tia

CHOCOLATE COVERED CANDIES

How much bourbon and vanilla? I did not hear the amounts mentioned.

Place open jar in microwave for 15-30 seconds to warm product. Let cool in bowl before adding eggs.

Is this being pressure canned?

Did I miss the amounts for the bourbon and vanilla?

Looks wonderful! How much Vanilla and Burbon did you add ?

Maybe set the jar in some hot water for a while it might come out easier

Can we not spray inside the jars before canning would that help?

Can you soften on microwave for a minute or so on power level 5?

Use per-made trat cups.

🇦🇺Could you heat the jar up a little then pour it out.

Carbon steel pan? I thought carbon steel was hard to care for, even with knives. I've been buying odd & end stainless pans when i can find decent ones for a food price. I watched this through to help you out, lol, i could not make this with all the maple syrup. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia 🧡

if u put the jar in the microwave for a few seconds it is easy to get out😊

How much vanilla and bourbon??

Just found your channel and I love you! Please stir with a spatula the scraping noise is hard on the ears.

is your recipe listed

Did you try this with allulose?

I do t think you mentioned the amount of bourbon you put in. Was that a cup?

I don’t know why am afraid to try those canners… I attempted this recipe before and I burned the pecans started over and burned the filling 😅

You know anything about clam chowder
