Pecan Pie
 

Pecan Pie

Makes one 9-inch pie

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light Karo (or cane sugar) syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
A pinch of sea salt
3 extra-large eggs, well beaten
1 cup jumbo pecans

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix sugar, syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil.
Beat eggs, and add nuts. Stir just a little of the hot syrup into the eggs to warm
them, then pour the egg mixture into the hot syrup RAPIDLY to avoid ending up with
scrambled eggs. Pour into pie shell.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. The center of the pie will still appear soft and "unset,"
but it will continue to bake after you remove it from the oven.
