Pecan Recipe · Mock Pecan Pie I

This recipe is from the Ruthven, Iowa United Methodist Cookbook, contributed by the late Irene Samek (dietician, minister's wife). As president of the United Methodist Women, I believe I can give permission to print this. We re-issued the cookbook last year and would appreciate the mention!
