long will they keep?    • 3  I know that pecan and pumpkin pies
are essentially custards. How long will they keep refrigerated,
without becoming soggy, or spoiling? I only bake about once a
year, at Thanksgiving, of course, However, I'm not getting
younger, and I like to do as much in advance as I can, as the
time I can spend on my feet is somewhat limited Thanks,
everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!     1. Click to Upload a photo

the counter. Don't recommend refrigeration as it can make the
crust soggy.      1. My suggestion is this. Make the crust and
refrigerate or freeze unbaked. Mixing up the filling for either
one of those pies shouldn't take very long. And obviously baking
doesn't require much effort on your part. It's true that both
pies will keep for a day or two, but they're so so much better
when freshly baked that if you swing it at all, I think it's
worth the effort.        1.
