Pecan Date Pie

I love pecan pie I love a good pecan pie, but most I’ve had are sickly sweet and taste artificial. But not this one!!! Unlike traditional pecan pies that rely heavily on corn syrup, my version uses dates to create a rich, caramel-like base. The dates not only provide natural sweetness but also add depth and complexity that corn syrup simply can't match. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla icecream. It was love at first bite.
