Pecan Pie


from Karo syrup website

I knew Pecan Pie would be a special treat for Thanksgiving, especially since it is Michael's favorite pie.  I had to hunt down some imported Karo syrup, but everything else was easy to find.  It is such a simple recipe and hard to go wrong!  It is straight from the back of the Karo syrup.

Here is a helpful video for making the pie:


  • 1 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust

    Preheat oven to 350.  Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.

    Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.

    RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil.
