Grandma Weeks Pecan Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/3 cup butter, melted
    1 cup light Karo syrup
    1 cup brown sugar
    3 eggs, lightly beaten
    1 1/2 cups pecans, broken into small pieces
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 dash salt
    1 pie crust
Preparation
    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!
