I'm going to cheat, but... I use the recipe on the bottle of Karo corn syrup. I increase the pecan amount by about half or double, depending on how the pecans are looking compared to the mix, and cook it to perhaps slightly overdone.

Holiday favorite!

Her's is slightly different from the one on the karo bottle.

We like to substitute Crown or Jack Daniels for the lemon juice! YUMMY!!! :supergrin:

Oh, and my in laws tell me that they liked the Walnut one better than the pecan pie. I made both for Thanksgiving.

Simply the best pecan pie you'll ever eat
It's simply the best pecan pie you'll ever eat. No joke, I've had people scrape the pan on this one.

1 stick BUTTER (no substitutes--do not use margarine!!!)
1 cup light karo syrup
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice OR whiskey
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt
1 cup chopped pecans
9 5/8 deep dish pie crusts (must be 9 5/8 or it will run over)

Brown butter in saucepan until brown (DO NOT BURN). Let cool. In separate bowl, add ingredients in order listed. Stir well. Blend in cooled browned butter. Stir well. Pour into pie shell and bake first at 425 degrees for 10 minutes and then at 325 until done.

Notes--
At 325 in my oven, which is electric, it took an hour and 15 minutes.

You may use salted or unsalted butter. If you use unsalted you can control the salt taste a little better. I've used both in the past.

I usually use whiskey rather than lemon juice and I'm pretty liberal about that teaspoon. So is my mom.




Oh.....this is SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!
