GRANDMA'S PECAN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Lightly prick bottom of the crust with a fork. Place in the fridge and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze no longer than 10 minutes).
• Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugars, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest (optional), and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then combine with the corn syrup mixture.
• Place the pecan halves in the chilled pie shell and then pour the filling mixture evenly over them.
• Cover your pie with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until center is set and not overly wiggly. Check it often.
• Remove from the oven when done and set on a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour, then refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• Pie can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

GRANDMA WEEKS PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Melt butter. In a medium bowl, add butter, Karo syrup and sugar and mix well.
• Add beaten eggs, vanilla,nuts & salt.
• Pour into a pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes. You can do a toothpick test which should be only slightly wet.
• Caryn's note: This is the recipe as Keith sent it to us. I basted the edges of the pie crust with a tiny bit of egg white that I reserved and covered it with my pie ring (you could use foil) until the last 15 minutes of cooking. And, I had to cook the pie for about an hour before a toothpick test revealed the moist toothpick. As the pie cools, it will set more so don't be alarmed if the center jiggles a little. As I recall, it didn't cut extremely clean, but it sure was good!
