Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 1 cup Dark corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Roll out the unbaked pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Flute the edges if desired and place it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, dark rum, and salt.
Step 5
Slowly pour the slightly cooled syrup mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Step 6
Place the pecans into the prepared pie crust, spreading them out evenly.
Step 7
Pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring all the nuts are coated and the filling is evenly distributed.
Step 8
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid.
Step 9
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing.
Step 10
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra festive touch!
