Every year my wife makes a bourbon pecan pie at Thanksgiving. Every year I hand her either WTRB or WT101. It was 101 this year.

I for one am totally envious!   I wish I could partake.     Please tell me how wonderful it was... and spare no detail, no matter how insignificant it may seem.   ?   Thanx in advance.  :D

Ambrosia. This may be the only pie I ever need.

(OK....I need more than one pie but it really is that good.)

The wife made some bourbon, chocolate chunk and pecan cookies before Christmas. She used some OE7BP for that batch. She’s said they were a lot of work and wouldn’t be made again. Well, She surprised me for V-day today with another batch. She couldn’t remember what she used last time. She grabbed some LBP. Will be enjoying later after a nice diner.

Those look AMAZING. Chunky. I've never heard of bourbon cookies.

Any chance you get get the recipe she used?

 

I've used bourbon soaked raisins/craisins in oatmeal raisin cookies for years (in fact baked some this morning for a gathering tonight!), and have done bourbon fudge - but those look amazing!

Awesome - thanks chief!  Definitely going to have to give this a try!  I can see where the brown butter is an extra pain in the @#$%, but sounds like they're well worth it!

Finally got around to making these today.

Pretty darn good!

Made some brown butter banana bread as well, while I was at it.


I bet you’s guys just use regular shelf stock bourbon for cooking.... :P

Nice. 

(I actually followed your wife’s lead and used OE 7y BS.

I like how rich and flavorful it is, and thought it would work well.)

Made some bourbon banana nut bread last week.  Had fresh ground cardamom and almond flour. Used Early Times BIB. If I make it again I won't do the banana slides embedded in the top. They didn't last beyond a day or so before they got kinda gooey. The bread itself was good. Wife didn't care for it so about half of it went to waste. I should have frozen it.

interesting.

im glad you commented on the long cut bananas, because I thought about it (After seeing yours) for a few seconds before I made mine.

My recipe called for caramelized brown sugar chopped pieces of banana though, and ultimately I decided that was more my style.

I bet the ET BiB is great for cooking.

It did work pretty well. If I make it again I'll use a bit more bourbon. It got a little lost. This recipe used 2 mashed bananas inside the bread and the 3rd on top. I would just mash up the 3rd with the first too. I also had whole cardamom seeds that I tried my best to crush with a rolling pin. Don't have a mortar and pestle and couldn't find the coffee/spic grinder.
