Pecans are a staple in Georgia, but they prove to be a hot commodity in homes across the nation when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner. Pecan pie remains a favorite among many, but the Georgia Grown Donaldson Dining Hall at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College recreated this festive treat for students to enjoy year-round.


The Donaldson Dining Hall was proud to share this beloved recipe so that you and your family can enjoy it at home this holiday season. As you and your family gather around the table, bask in the thanks given and see why students are so thankful for this sweet treat.
