This is my mother's recipe and is without a doubt, the BEST pecan pie I've ever had - and I've had lots! It makes my mouth water just to think about it.

Ingredients
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (NOT margarine)
  • 1 cup brown sugar Karo syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon pure Mexican vanilla (you can use regular vanilla if you like, but Mexican vanilla is the first secret)
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (my aunt owns a pecan orchard, so I get mine off the tree!)
  • 1 (8 or 9 inch pie crust or 20 tart shells)

Directions
  1. Brown butter in a small skillet until golden (be careful not to burn) (This is the second secret). Remove from pan into bowl and let cool. In another bowl, combine ingredients in the order listed. Stir. Blend in browned butter. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 325 for 40 minutes. If you use tart shells, place them on cookie sheets and bake at 325 for 1 hour.

Sounds great.


I don't understand something in the ingredients list: It states "1 cup brown sugar Karo syrup." Does this mean one cup of each or....?


Great recipe, and especially with the tart shells!


Molly62 - There is a product called Karo Syrup with Brown Sugar. You'll see it with the regular clear Karo.


Lesliegw,

Thanx for the clarification on the Karo syrup! I've never heard of it with brown sugar, but I will search for it since I want to make the "best pecan pie ever"!


I'd never heard of it either - because I rarely use Karo syrup. But you go find it and I promise that you WILL make the best pecan pie ever! :)
