I'm personally not a huge fan of corn syrup and prefer to bake with alternative liquid sweeteners that have more nutritional value. This pecan pie is made with maple syrup, and I think it tastes even better that way! Here are other liquid sweeteners you can substitute for corn syrup in your pecan pie: -maple syrup -honey (if you are not vegan) -brown rice syrup -molasses -agave Keep in mind that each sweetener has its own flavor profile, and will make the pie taste slightly differently.
