How to Make Mama Arnold's Honey Pie

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of honey to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm honey to temper the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.
  4. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining honey. Stir constantly with a whisk.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and gently stir in ½ cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup pecan halves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  7. Pour the honey mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
