Prepare the Syrup Base

Notes: The secret to this rich pie is cooking the sugar and corn syrup first.

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups corn syrup

In a saucepan, boil sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes.

Set aside to cool slightly.

Notes: At this point, you can strain the mixture to ensure it's smooth and lump-free.

4 eggs

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely broken

In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Very slowly pour the slightly cooled syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.

Stir in the butter, which will melt into the warm mixture.

Stir in the vanilla and pecans.
