Favorite Pecan Pie

Pecan pie season is here!

There was a time when I thought I didn't like
 pecan pie. What was I thinking?

It's the perfect fall and winter pie.
 I make the first one in October.

Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie

I make one for Thanksgiving and

another for Christmas. Maybe I'll make one

in January to celebrate the New Year.

 I start with my homemade pie crust.

 Pour in the filling. I flip any pecans that need to
be turned top-side up.

 It can bake along with the pumpkin pie.

My guilty pleasure is having a small slice

with a good cup of coffee the next morning

 for breakfast. Even better!

Pecan Pie

3 eggs

2/3 C sugar

dash salt

1 C dark corn syrup

1/3 C butter, melted

1 t vanilla

1 heaping C pecan halves

1 9" unbaked pie shell
(adding 1 T of bourbon is good too)
~~~~~~~~

Beat eggs, sugar, salt, corn syrup, 

butter and vanilla. Add pecans.

Pour into pie shell. 

I flip the pecans right-side up

Bake @350 for 50-55 minutes or
 until knife inserted halfway between
center and edge comes out clean.
Cool. Good served with a scoop
 of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!
