Farmhouse Pecan Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Roll out pie crust, and lay in pan - metal's best!
2. 2
   Beat eggs until light and fluffy.
3. 3
   Add sugar and beat again.
4. 4
   Add syrup, butter, pecans, salt and vanilla. Pour into pie pan, and place on cookie sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup in case the lovely goo boils over.
5. 5
   Cook on 350 for 10 minutes; then reduce temperature to 325 for 30 minutes.
6. 6
   Temperature reduction is to keep crust from burning.
7. 7
   Ovens vary in performance and cook times should be adjusted accordingly (I had to cook mine an additional 10 minutes).
8. 8
   Pie is done when center jiggles like jello when you shake the pie.
9. 9
   Make sure the pie cools completely before you cut it.
