Directions
  1. 1
    (Introduction by Malcolm Hbert) When the French settled in New Orleans they discovered the pecan.
  2. 2
    And they promptly made good use of it by creating pecan brittle, pecan pralines, pecan sauce and of course pecan pie.
  3. 3
    The first pecans I ever ate came from my Grandmother's pecan tree in her backyard.
  4. 4
    Every Christmas she would send a 50 pound gunny sack of pecans to my mother.
  5. 5
    My Grandmother's pecans were not those tasteless thin shelled kind; hers had thick shells with just as much shell as meat and 10 times more taste.
  6. 6
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  7. 7
    In a glass mixing bowl
  8. 8
    beat the eggs, blending in the sugar, syrup, butter, vanilla, salt, Armagnac and pecans.
  9. 9
    Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake 10 minutes.
  10. 10
    Lower the oven to 350 degrees and
