Pecan Pie

 Pecan Pie With Dark Corn Syrup

No matter how you pronounce the word 'pecan' they do make great tasting pies.  Here is our favorite recipe to make this delicious and easy dessert. 

If you were to buy this pie in a store or restaurant, it would cost you a lot more money than if you made it at home. 

Ingredients

1 c. dark corn syrup
3 eggs
1 c. sugar
2 Tbs butter or margarine melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. pecans, chopped
1 (9-inch) pastry shell, unbaked

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.

In a large bowl, vigorously mix the dark corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt together with a wooden spoon. You can also use a mixer if you want.

Stir in the pecans.

Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The outer edge of the filling should be set and the center slightly soft.
