"Another recipe from my grandmother. She could not cook a main course to save her life (other than chop suey) but she could make wonderful desserts."

Serves:: 6-8

ingredients

1 cup white corn syrup
1 cup dark brown sugar
¹⁄₃ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₃ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs (beaten)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 prepared pie crust (I cheat on this part)

directions

Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Add slightly beaten eggs. Pour in pecans and fold into mixture.
Put pie shell on a cookiing sheet in oven (to avoid spilling liquid going from counter to oven). Pour ingredients into shell. Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven for 45 minutes. (keep cooking sheet under pie to avoid spilling over onto oven floor).
**Note** My grandmother made her own pie crust but I just save time and buy the prepared ones. They are better then I can make.

I live in the upstate of South Carolina but am originally from the coast of Mississippi. I love the area I now live in...so beautiful! I have 5 dogs, two cats, one husband and one son! I love to travel but with all these animals it is not possible any more. My favorite places I have been to are Alaska and Bermuda. But I love just driving up to my in-laws in North Carolina and enjoying that beautiful state!
