1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
3Eggs
1teaspoonHabanero powder
½cupHoney
cupMaple syrup (yes, real)
1teaspoonVanilla
1pinchSalt
2tablespoonsUnsalted butter, melted
cupBroken pecans (from my yard, if possible, I have zillions)
Any old pie crust (I use the graham ones from the store)

Directions

Brought this to the department picnic, one regular, one hab'd. Very good stuff. Adapted from NIkki and David Goldbeck's American Wholefood Cuisine.

In mixing bowl, beat eggs and habanero powder with fork. Add honey, syrup, vanilla, salt, beat some more. Add butter and pecans, beat a little more.

Pour into pie crust, bake at 400 for 10 minutes, then 350 for about 25 minutes until set. Cool.

Good with Cool Whip (I'm a non-dairy person). The heat is slow - one woman tried it and said 'this isn't hot... oooooh.... I think I'll get some more soda!' Just a nice slow burn. Use two tsp habanero for a bigger kick.

Garnish top of pie with fresh habs for nice look and also visual warning.
