Vanilla Pecan Pie
You can never have too many Southern recipes, so give Vanill Head to the store and pick up vanillan extract, pecan pieces, eggs, and a few other things to make it today. It is a good option if you're following a vegetarian diet. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare crust as directed on package for one-crust pie using 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Beat cream cheese, 1 of the eggs, 1/4 cup of the sugar and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended and smooth.
Spread evenly on bottom of crust.
Beat remaining 2 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until smooth.
Add corn syrup, butter, remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla and salt; stir until well blended.
Sprinkle pecans evenly over baked cream cheese layer. Slowly pour corn syrup mixture over nuts.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until just set in center. Cool completely on wire rack.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are great choices for Southern. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. The Von Winning Winnings Riesling with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Von Winning Winnings Riesling
If you loved the 2014 — and if you didn't, we need to send out a search party for your heart — you’ll find this one happy, happy, happy. Stronger than '14, it's also both drier and richer. And that’s as it should be; the pittance of sweetness it contains will rise and fall with the structure of each year's wine, because that's what sensible vintners do. The others just set up a formula and the wine"“has—XY— grams of sugar and zat's zat." Not Winnings Riesling. This will always be teasingly dry and teasingly sweet so you’ll keep changing your mind ("Wait, it's a dry wine, no, it's a sweet wine, no wait, it's a dry wine again….") while the bottle empties faster than you could have imagined.
