Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Pecans pieces
  • 8 tablespoons Butter
  • Salt
  • 1 ⅛ cup Corn Syrup
  • 1 ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 2 tablespoons Bourbon
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 Pie Crust

Instructions
 

  • Start oven heating to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4
  • Have a pie pan lined with the pie crust and ready to go.
  • Arrange ½ of the pecan pieces on a baking sheet, and place in oven for 7 minutes. Remove, empty into a bowl, stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter and two dashes of salt.
  • Keep oven on.
  • Place in a medium-sized saucepan all but 2 tablespoons of the corn syrup, 4 tablespoons of the butter, ¾ cup (5 oz / 150g) of the brown sugar and a dash of salt. Place on stove on medium heat, bring to a low boil and hold there for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dissolve the cornstarch in the water, then add the vanilla and the bourbon.
  • Separate the yolks from 3 of the eggs; set those egg whites aside for another, future use.
  • Stir the cornstarch mixture into the corn syrup mixture.
  • In a large bowl, break the 3 remaining eggs, and stir in the 3 egg yolks. Spoon or pour the corn syrup in a little at a time, stirring well.
  • Scatter pecan pieces over bottom of pie shell. Pour the corn syrup mixture over the pecans, and bake in your oven for 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put in a saucepan a dash of salt, the remaining 3 tablespoons of the butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, and the remaining brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and hold at the boil for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining pecan pieces and ½ teaspoon of vanilla. Stir to coat the pecans.
  • Remove pie from oven, spoon these pecan pieces over top the pie, and put back for oven for 10 minutes. Then remove and let cool before serving.

Notes

Use a 5 cup (1.2 L) pie pan. Which is to say, either a 9 inch pie pan 1 ½ inches deep, or a 10 inch pan 1 inch deep.
