Another recipe from my grandmother. She could not cook a main course to save her life (other than chop suey) but she could make wonderful desserts. Ingredients:
1 cup white corn syrup |
1 cup dark brown sugar |
1/3 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup melted butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 eggs (beaten) |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 prepared pie crust (i cheat on this part) |
Directions:
1. Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Add slightly beaten eggs. Pour in pecans and fold into mixture.
2. Put pie shell on a cookiing sheet in oven (to avoid spilling liquid going from counter to oven). Pour ingredients into shell. Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven for 45 minutes. (keep cooking sheet under pie to avoid spilling over onto oven floor).
3. **Note** My grandmother made her own pie crust but I just save time and buy the prepared ones. They are better then I can make.
