Deep South Pecan Pie

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Put your pie crust into your pie pan and partially bake the empty pie crust for 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour and salt. Mix in the cane syrup, vanilla extract, bourbon and melted butter. Add the beaten eggs and whisk until well blended. Fold in chopped pecans and pour the filling into the crust.

Bake for 45 minutes.

I always check the pie after it has baked 30 minutes to see if the crust is getting too brown. If so, cover the edges with a pie shield or aluminum foil.

The pie will be a little loose in the center when you take it from the oven, but it will set up as it cools. Do not overbake!
