Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup white corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine -- melted
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 teaspoon salt
3 eggs -- lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups whole pecans -- "shelled not diced"
1 pie shell (9 inch size)

Prep:Mix corn syrup, sugar, salt and Butter all together. Then add lightly beaten eggs. Pour this mixture into the Pie shell. Hold back a little of the mixture (1/8 to 1/4) as some pie plates are not as deep as some of my old ones. Add the Pecans and if you have room add the slight remainder of your mixture to the pie.
Cook for aprox 45 min

Note: My sister uses 1 cup of pecans and 1/4 cup less of syrup as she has new pie plates.

This is preatty much how 99% of Pecan pies are made.
Bryan,

Yum!
It is funny though, even when dining out at some really great small places, they still cannot make a decent pie, with homemade crust. (Will have to post my grandma's cherry pie recipie...it has been in our family for years, when I get home.)

Cannot wait to try this pecan, as it is a new one for my "ametuer" self.

Thanks for sharing it!
