Pecan Pie




This is my mother's delicious Pecan Pie recipe.  She always makes two when we visit so we have one for the road home!  This is a great recipe.

3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white corn syrup (Karo)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Pinch of salt
*Pillsbury Pie Crust (frozen, in red box)

* You could also use a 9-inch ready to bake pie shell, but this is a more flaky crust.  Just be sure to sprinkle both sides of the crust with flour before placing it in a 9-inch pie plate.

Combine first 7 ingredients; blend well and pour into pie shell.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour or until firm.

Tips:  You can decorate the top with pecan halves before baking.  For presentation, I like to serve with a dollop of Reddi-Whip and grated dark chocolate on top!
