I didn't eat pecan pie until I came to the U.S. In 1987-1989, it was on every diner's menu. I would always order a tuna sandwich for my meal and a pecan pie for dessert.

Here is a recipe to make one using honey:

Ingredients

Crust:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Filling:

• 1 1/2 cups honey
• 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups flour, softened butter, and sugar. Beat at medium speed until coarse crumbs form. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped pecans.
3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
4. Bake the crust for 18-22 minutes until the edges are light golden brown.
5. In a separate bowl, mix all filling ingredients (except 1 1/2 cups pecans) thoroughly. Stir in the chopped pecans.
6. Spread the filling evenly over the hot, partially baked crust.
7. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate. Cut into bars.
