Yield: 8 Slices

Ingredients

1 cup Light Corn Syrup
1 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
3 tablespoons Butter melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup shelled Pecans
One 9-inch unbaked Pie Shell
Whipped Cream to serve

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, add corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt. Mix well with a whisk or mixer to fully mix and dissolve sugar. (The mixture needs to be completely smooth before you pour it into the pie shell.)
Place pecans in the pie shell.
Pour pie mixture into pie shell. (The pecans will float evenly to the top as the pie cooks.)
Place in preheated oven. Bake about 1 hour, or until the center is set.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, at room temperature or cold. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Place on the counter, covered or uncovered, at room temperature until ready to serve, up to 4 hours for a room temperature pie. Store, covered, in the refrigerator, for 2 hours or until ready to serve for a cold pie. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator, up to a week.
