Pecan Pie

I love pecan pie! But why do people only eat it on Thanksgiving? I mean its a delicious pie that can be made year round! Here is a great recipe for pecan pie!

Pecan Pie
Makes 1 Pie

1 cup of light or dark corn syrup
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup (2/3 stick) butter, melted, and slightly cooled
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 heaping cup of finely chopped pecans
1 unbaked pie crust

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, salt, and vanilla. Whisk the mixture until totally combined. Place the chopped pecans in the bottom of the pie crust, and then pour the sticky mixture right over the top of it. YUM!

Cover the pie in foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake the pie for 35 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake for 25-30 more minutes. TRY NOT TO BURN IT!

The pie should not be overly jiggly. If it is, place it back in the oven for 5 minute intervals, until done.

Let the pie cool before slicing it to wedges.
Enjoy!

*This pie can be made and baked 1 day ahead.

Top with whipped cream and vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
