Southern Pecan Pie
This recipe was given to me in Honduras by one of my missionary friends. Her pecan pies were always in demand and requested even for Birthdays!!! It is not too sweet and perfect in every way. Enjoy!
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 stick butter or margarine, melted and cooled
1 t. vanilla
Sprinkle pecans into pastry shell.
Beat eggs slightly, gently beating in remaining ingredients. Pour into pastry shell.
Bake at 350 for 45min. or until the center is almost set but still soft. Do not overbake!
Today, in joining with the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am thanking God for my friend, Margy, who gave me this recipe. I thank God for seventeen years of encouragement, prayer and friendship. She is even better than her pecan pie!
Oh how I LOVE pecan pie! So thankful I found you at Melt in Your Mouth Monday. I'm pinning this for now and will be making it soon. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...that looks great and reminds me of my grandmother. Pecans are hard to get here this year...or extremely expensive after our droughts and fires.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.

I have a friend Margy also in Honduras. Could she be the same one you have? We lived there in 1997, San Pedro Sula.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous....I am sure it is the same Margy as she lives in SPS. I lived there in 1994-6 and 2005-7. Your post is anonymous so have no way of getting back with you!
