Southern Pecan Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. corn syrup
1/4 c. melted butter
3 eggs, beaten
1 c. pecan pieces
1 tsp. vanilla or rum extract
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell

Preparation

Mix sugar, syrup and butter.
Add eggs and pecans.
Fill unbaked crust with mixture and bake in hot oven 400\u00b0 for ten minutes.
Reduce heat to moderate 350\u00b0 and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until done.
Some variations on this are for adding 1/2 cream or 1/4 c. whole milk. The recipe doubles well for 2 pies, but cut back on pecans.
