  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. In a small bowl, add the pecans and bourbon.  Set aside.
  3. Use an electric mixer to mix together honey, molasses, butter, and lemon juice.Alternately, whisk vigorously with a whisk.
  4. Add the eggs, and beat until the batter is smooth.  Add the bourbon and pecans, and stir with a spoon to incorporate.
  5. Arrange the pie dough in a pie pan. 
  6. Pour the pecan mixture inside the pie dough.  Bake 10 minutes at 450°F, then lower temperature to 350°F.  Bake another 25-30 minutes.
  7. Pie is ready when the filling has set, but the center still wobbles slightly.
  8. Allow pie to cool at least 1 hour before serving.
  9. Make Ahead (Refrigerator): Pie will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days (although the crust will soften the longer it sits).Make Ahead (Freezer):Allow cooked pie to cool completely. Wrap it tightly and freeze. Use within 2 months.To reheat, preheat your oven to 350ºF. Cook for 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Allow pie to come to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • For a boozier pie: Use ⅓ cup bourbon and cook 5 minutes longer (at 350°F).
