PECAN PIE (from The Joy of
Cooking)
(This pie may be made with walnuts
- My friend Mary uses 1/2 pecans and 1/2 sugar coated pecans)
Preheat oven to 450.
Prepare an unfilled pie shell and
bake partially (5-7 min) Allow to cool.
Reduce oven heat to 375.
Cream:
1/4 c butter
1 c firmly
packed brown sugar

3 eggs
Sit in:
1/2 c light
corn syrup or molasses
1 to 1 1/2 c
broken pecans
1 tsp vanilla
or 1 tbsp rum (Mary used rum)

Fill the shell. Bake the pie about
40 min. or until a knife inserted in the pie comes out clean.

whipped cream.
