    this was my first time making pecan pie....and it was great! i used 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. I added a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. I heated the mixture until the sugar granules melted...let it cool...added the eggs and the pecans (2 cups instead of 1 let it bake..and it was absolutly delicious!!! I am so glad to have found such a great recipe:

    Some tips: Make sure not to cook the eggs in the saucepan. Only do this in the saucepan: melt the butter but don't let it brown. Mix in the sugar and corn syrup and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. After that, take it off the heat because than the eggs will cook which is wrong.

    The other issue I encountered was how to know whether the pie is cooked all the way. If you don't cook it all the way it will be tooo soggy. So, the best tip I have is if its too giggly than it still needs to cook. If it moves just a little bit and only in the center, than it is probably cooked. The pie will completely set after you pull it out.

    My husband tasted this and it was the best we have ever had and it comes out great. The top of the pecan pie was nice and crunchy. It is great!!

    I followed the recipe exactly as written and used a deep dish crust. Everyone at a neighborhood gathering raved about it, in fact it was requested for our 4th of July celebration today. The only request from my group was make more! Perhaps the unhappy comments were due to too many changes to the recipe.

    So I tried this pie, but I followed the advice of everybody else and used the molasses and corn syrup and the half and half sugars and vanilla. The taste of this pecan pie is so yucky. I dont know if it was the molasses or what but it does not taste like the sweet pecan pies that I am use to. So anybody that wants a sweet pecan pie do not use the suggestions. I will never use that recipe again.

    I have tried many different recipes for pecan pie and all have fallen short of the perfect pie. After finding this recipe during Christmas I decided to give it a go. My guests that don't like pecan pie fell in love with it. This is simple easy and fabulous.

    I read comments and add salt vanilla and use half dark and half white syrup. I have made this pie about 6 times and everyone says it is the best pecan pie they ever ate. However the last time i made it i put tinfoil over the pie the last 15 min of baking and it was even better. Would love more recipes from this source and looking for an old fashioned peanut butter pie recipe made from custard if anyone can help.

    I peeked into the oven and noticed it looked like it was falling over (had another pie in there too and when I went to grab it, the whole thing dumped over into the oven drawer, under the oven, you name it! Its the most sugary thing I have ever had to clean!!

    Needless to say- I had enough pie mix to make another pie and it ended up delicious....So for the previous person who said it makes too much for a 9 inch crust, well that saved my life!

    Other than that I followed the suggestions- I did half dark Karo and half light, and half brown and half white sugar with vanilla. I also added a pinch of almont extract.

    Very very good!

    My first pie ever! I revised per the comments - I used the vanilla and switched out 1/2 cup of white sugar for brown. I also toasted the pecans (that was a great tip!. For one of my pies, I used 1/2 the amount of corn syrup and used maple syrup (the real kind instead. I felt that it was a runnier and less smooth texture - but it tasted phenomenal!
