This recipe in its original form called for
one cup of light corn syrup. I replaced 1/2 the corn syrup
with light grade birch syrup and it became a hit. I
reduced the cooking temperature from 350 degrees to 275 and
cooked it for a longer time frame. This helps firm the pie and
keeps the crust from over browning.
1 Frozen pie shell 9 "
1/2 cup light Birch
Syrup
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
3 eggs slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp of salt
2/3 cup chopped pecans
Bake the pie shell at
400 degrees don't forget to pierce the pie crust with a fork or
the crust may raise. Cook the pie shell for ten minutes and
remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees.
In a bowl add the slightly beaten eggs. Then add all other
ingredients listed above, adding the pecans last and stir well.
Pour into pie shell and bake in a oven at 275 degrees for 60
minutes. I found this creates a firm pie with a golden crust.
Depending on oven or moisture you may have to cook the pie a few
more minutes. The pie will rise during the
last stages of cooking. It rises more on the outside area and
not in the middle. The pie is done when the sides are set and it
slightly jiggles in the middle. Cool the pie before
slicing into it. Refrigerating the pie will also help to
firm it.

A teacher told me the kids
at her school try very hard to figure out what she uses in her
chocolate chip cookies to make them taste so good.
