One of the things I love about Thanksgiving are the traditional foods of the season. Turkey and Dressing, sweet potato's with marshmallow topping, green bean casserole, and the best of the best.... The Pies!
One of the things I always looked forward to every single Thanksgiving was my grandmother's pecan pie. Nothing says Thanksgiving for me like her pecan pie. I asked her once for her pecan pie recipe and she gave me the following one. I don't have her recipe for the crust, but it probably doesn't matter much anyway. I have found that the only way to make a good pie crust is to practice. ALOT!
Pecan Pie
1 cup Light OR Dark Karo Corn Syrup
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure Vanilla Extract
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.
Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes . Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.
If this recipe sounds familiar it probably is because of this - When I asked my grandmom for her recipe, she told me to look on the back of the Karo Syrup bottle. Who knew!!
