Pecan Pie

One of my pet peeves about pecan pie recipes is the continued use of corn syrup in the filling.  Yuck!  So this is my solution.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell of your choice

Method:

Put the chopped pecans in the bottom of the pie shell.

Mix other ingredients together, melting the butter and honey together if necessary.
Whisk well and pour over the pecans.

Bake at 425* for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350* and bake for another 30 minutes.

An addition to this recipe that is rather heavenly, is to mix 1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate in with the nuts and then add 2 Tablespoons of bourbon or whiskey to the wet ingredients.  Old South Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie in a trice!
