Bourbon Pecan Pie
 
Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie shell (unbaked – homemade or store bought)
3 Large eggs (beaten)
1/2 Cup brown sugar firmly packed
1/2 Cup light corn syrup
1/2 Cup dark corn syrup
2 Tablespoons REAL butter (melted)
3 Tablespoons Bourbon
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1 Cup fresh pecans chopped (you can use whole ones if you like)
Prepare the crust in a pie pan but do not bake.
Pie Filling:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Beat eggs in a large bowl.
- Add the brown sugar into the beaten eggs ( Make sure all of the sugar dissolves and there are no lumps)
- Stir in remaining ingredients: corn syrups, butter, salt, Bourbon and pecans
- Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
- Cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent them from burning.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is set.
Watch the pie carefully the last 10 minutes for the top to 'crust and crack' - this means it is done. Do not over-bake.
Remove from oven, cool and enjoy.
Left over pie can be refrigerated.
This pie is equally good without the bourbon.
