The best southern pecan pie. Gooey with caramel deliciousness and crunchy with the nutty taste of pecans.

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn syrup (Light or dark)
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Pecan halves or pieces (can be roughly chopped if you prefer)
- 1 Pie Crust ( I use Pillsbury, but homemade is good too!)

 Serve warm or room temperature with whipped cream. |
Note
(1) Pie will set slightly as it cools.
(2) The pie ring or foil is necessary or the outer pie crust will brown too much during cooking.
