Pecan Pie

This is the best pecan pie I have ever tasted.  It is my Mom's recipe.  It is really quite simple also!



1 C. Light Corn Syrup
1 C. Light Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/3 C. Melted Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 heaping C. Pecan Halves
1 frozen 9" pie crust (or make your own)


Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter, vanilla in a bowl and mix well.  (You do NOT heat it up on the stove).  Add slightly beaten eggs.  Add pecans.  Pour into unbaked pie shell.  Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 45-50 min.  Bake on a baking sheet in case it runs over.  It will seem a little runny when you take it out.  It will set up as it cools.  Allow to cool, serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.  It is very rich, you will only need a small slice.


Notes:
*** LIGHT corn syrup means the white colored, not dark colored corn syrup
*** This time when I went to buy corn syrup it was stocked by the pancake syrup instead of by the baking supplies.
***I just use a store-bought frozen pie crust, I think they are just as good as making it from scratch.
