Authentic, Southern Pecan Pie available in Canada for Thanksgiving!

Mississippi Queen Foods is home of the ‘Slap Ya’ Mamma Two Times’ Good, Southern Pecan Pies!  It’s the place to purchase an authentic, Southern Pecan Pie, in Canada!  Also, that’s pronounced “puh- kawn”, in case you don’t speak Southern! 

A native of Mississippi, currently living in Toronto, Canada, I make authentic, Southern Pecan pies, using lots of love, and, of course, butter and sugar and eggs and vanilla and butter and sugar and dark corn syrup and toasted pecans, to enhance the flavor…all served in a buttery pastry.  Southern Pecan Pie, made by a Southerner; it just doesn’t get any sweeter than that!

As a Southerner, we are known for our love of pecan pies, and consider it a staple in the Southern ‘diet’.  The popularity is due to the abundance of pecans grown throughout the Southern region, with Texas and Georgia being the top producers.  The success of the pecan has been solely American, with the largest export going to Canada (…and possibly the help of Mississippi Queen Foods!).

Ideal pecan growing conditions exist in the South, due to the warm weather, and long growing season, without risk of frost, which is required for pecans to reach maturity.  The pecan nuts are harvested in the fall, from September to November.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Pecan trees are native to the Mississippi floodplain.  I grew up with pecan trees in my front yard in Mississippi, and a pecan orchard lined the winding driveway through my great-grandmother’s property.  However, it is difficult for home growers to produce nuts on trees due to the fact that pecan trees grow to approximately 150 feet tall, with full canopy, but are prone to disease and insects, which can be hard to reach at those heights!

Fall is the time for harvest, coming indoors, and preparation for family gathering at Thanksgiving.  When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of pies!  When I think of pies, I think of my favorite- Southern Pecan Pie!
