thanksgiving pie

  

I'm feeling so blessed this year and thankful beyond words for all the wonderful people in our life. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pecan Pie

adapted from The Pioneer Woman Cooks

1 whole unbaked pie crust

1 c. sugar

3 T. brown sugar

1/2 t. salt

1 c. corn syrup

3/4 t. vanilla

1/3 c. butter, melted

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 c. pecans - some chopped, some whole

Mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl.

Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.

Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie at 350º for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans.

NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN. If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minute or until set. Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!

Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.



my first pecan pie!
