This is a rich tasting southern dessert which my older sister made when I was a little kid. She was in high school when I was born and we had a very special relationship. I'm getting older now and want to share her recipe. Her name was Virginia but I gave her the name Ninny when I was learning to talk. I called it:
"Ninny's Nigh Unto World Famous Pecan Pie"
