Thanksgiving is later this week. My son Nate moved to Florida3 weeks ago. I wondered how soon he'd call for my chocolate pecan pie recipe. It was today. I started making this recipe when we lived in Alabama. The recipe is from a Southern cook book.I don't like the pie as it is way too sweet for my palate, which prefers sour.
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup light corn syrup (Karo)
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecan halves or pieces
1 unbaked pie shell
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt chocolate and butter together. Mix sugar and syrup together, bring to a boil, boil together for 2 minutes and pour slowly over beaten eggs, stirring constantly. Add vanilla, melted butter/chocolate, and nuts. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375 degrees until it puffs up all over the top. Cool.
