Pecan Pie
Pecan Pie
Pecans were a rare treat, but not unknown to the Amish because of eastern Pennsylvania’s access to goods that passed through Philadelphia and Baltimore. Pecan pie is another demonstration of the preference for a salty-sweet combination of flavors found throughout the Amish died (sweet and sour bacon salad dressing, ham and green beans with sweet and sour cole slaw, and syrup over mush and scrapple are other examples).
