Know what makes your house smell like heaven?

Old Fashioned Pecan Pie, a.k.a. the best part about Family Home Evening.

Heat syrup, sugar, cream, and molasses in saucepan over medium heat stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Whisk butter and salt into syrup mixture until combined. Whisk in egg yolks until incorporated.
