1. Mary’s Florida Pecan Pie Recipe

Enjoy a Florida Pecan Pie recipe created by Mary Jeffery, who, with her husband George, owned a Florida Pecan farm in Paisley, Florida.

Later passed on to the next generation, son Ivan and wife Nina carry on the holiday tradition of serving Mary’s Florida Pecan Pie.  They’ve been kind enough to share this delicious recipe with our Authentic Florida family.

2. Authentic Florida Key Lime Pie Recipe

Looking for the perfect Florida pie for the holidays … or any time for that matter? You can’t beat this tasty, quintessential dessert: Authentic Florida’s Key Lime Pie.

No wonder Key Lime Pie is our state pie … it’s perfect with Florida seafood or any light dish … and is an ideal way to finish off almost any meal.

3. Florida Orange Grove Pie Recipe


Florida Orange Grove Pie is perfect for the citrus lover in all of us. Similar to an orange marmalade pie, it’s the ideal sweet treat during the Florida citrus season.

The taste will make you feel like you are walking through a Florida orange grove!
