Pecan Pie

This is from the recipe drawer of Maxine.  Well, anyone who knows Maxine, knows that Pecan Pie is her "specialty"!  I, for one, have adopted this recipe as my own.  I always get great compliments on my Pecan Pie.

As far as pies go, many think that Pecan Pie is something very difficult to make.  But as you can see from this recipe, it is fairly simple.  There isn't a recipe here for the pie crust, so use your favorite, or even buy one in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.  Give it a crimp around the edges and no one will ever know that you didn't whip it up yourself!

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter or oleo (oleo is an older term for margarine)
1 cup Kero syrup - light or dark ( I think that it is actually spelled Karo)
1 cup whole pecans (I don't believe that you can actually buy "whole" pecans, I interpret this to mean halves, not chopped pecans or pecan pieces)

1) Beat eggs and sugar.
2) Cut in soft butter.
3) Add syrup, beat well.
4) Add pecans and mix well.
5) Pour into unbaked pastry (pie) shell.
6) Bake 50-60 minutes in 375 degree oven.
