How to make a pecan pie

 

We had a pecan pie for our Christmas dinner. It was yummy.

 People asked, "What’s in it?"

Here’s a recipe for pecan pie:

1 cup light corn syrup

1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

3 eggs, slightly beaten

1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ½ cups pecan halves

1 unbaked pastry shell

In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, salt, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into an unbaked pie crust; sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set. Cool and serve with whipped cream.
