Karo (R) Six-Minute Pecan Pie

Bear's Anecdote - A friend of mine from Huntsville, Alabama (Tim P. - It isn't good to give full names on the internet.) gave me a great stack of recipes. Here is one of them.

A couple things need to be said. This is *NOT* my wife's unbelievable pecan-brandy pie, but its pretty good. I think this was the starting point for her experiments in pecan-pie land. Also, I found out recently that my father's favorite pie is pecan. So, I need to post Jodie's wonderlicious pie, as soon as I can pry the recipe from her.

• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 c. Karo (R) light or dark corn syrup
• 1 c. sugar
• 2 tblsp. margarine or butter, melted
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1-1/2 c. shelled pecans
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell

1. In a large bowl, stir together the first five ingredients until well blended.
2. Stir in nuts.
3. Pour into a pastry shell.
4. Bake in 350 degree oven 50 or 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean.
5. Cool.

Serves 8.
