File CommentOriginally Posted by Kathy P: Wow that is exciting! Are you also doing OIT for the other nuts? He's never had the other two so we're doing food challenges to see if he's really allergic or not. He passed pecan last thursday! Should know this Thursday on hazelnut or we will be starting the clock on a new round of OIT. (our doc does not combine tree nuts as the goal is low and slow and no reactions!) I'll update the blog soon, just a bit overwhelmed this week with all of it!

Blog Post Comment❤️That's a really great question! The issue is that it doesn't declare cashew and pecan separately. The FDA labeling requirements are that the specific nuts must be specified - https://www.kidswithfoodallerg...-protection-act.aspx Edited to add: I do see where it specifies cashews, but maybe they are also present in another item. I don't know.

Blog Post CommentIs the same true for a pecan pie (if allowed)? tapioca starch for the 3 eggs? thanks, cm

Blog Post CommentI have not seen tapioca starch used as an egg replacer for pecan pie. Have you tried looking for a vegan version?

Blog Post CommentThe other difference between pumpkin and pecan pies is the body or structure of the filling. This is why I like to do smaller individual pecan pies. A pecan pie is a sugar custard and does not have the pumpkin puree to help with stability. I don't think only using a starch to set up a pecan pie will work. If you can do soy, Post Punk Kitchen (very reputable vegan cooking blog) has a Maple Pecan Pie that uses tofu.

Blog Post CommentFor egg free pecan pie I prefer to make individual little pies called Pecan Tassies. We have a recipe in the Safe Eats Recipe collection that is available for Family Members (cost is $25 or sponsored memberships available). Family Members can find the recipe here: Pecan Tassies

Blog Post CommentJust an FYI that I tried that Pecan Tassie recipe as a bigger pie and it was messy disaster! That filling doesn't have the structure you need for a bigger pie. It is mainly sugar and made a caramel fountain all over my oven! It might work OK in mini pies that bake for shorter time, but not so much in a full size pie.
