Pecan Pie

This recipe came to me by way of my Texas born husband. Pecan trees grow on his family's property and when life gives you pecans, make Pecan Pie!

This recipe has become a favorite because it's not super sweet, and it's loaded with pecans instead of sugary filling!

Texas Pecan Pie

1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 and 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
Additional pecan halves to decorate pie.
One 9-inch pie crust (unbaked).

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat eggs. Mix in corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Place chopped pecans in bottom of unbaked pie shell. Pour filling over. Decorate top of pie with pecan halves, making concentric circles, or however you want. Bake for 50 minutes. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
