Perfect Pecan Pie

Plain or Fancy?  Pecan Pie is a Thanksgiving tradition.  This recipe, presented in both a plain version and a fancy version, is a sure winner.  You choice the flavoring, either vanilla, dark rum or bourbon.

Using either a store-bought frozen pie crust or a store-bought pre-made crust will save a great deal of time.  The “better” brands really make a difference, I’ve found.

Recipe

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients

  • 2 C Pecans
  • 3 large eggs, room temp
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 C dark corn syrup (may substitute light)
  • 3 oz butter (3/4 of a stick)
  • 1 tsp vanilla, dark rum or bourbon (I prefer the bourbon, wow!)

Follow mix and assembly instructions in the video.

Bake for 35 – 45 minutes, outer edges of filling should be set, the middle should be like jello with jiggled.  If crust is starting to burn, cover gently with aluminum foil.
