beat eggs thoroughly. add sugar and corn syrup. add butter, salt, vanilla, and pecans. pour into unnamed pie shell and bake in 400°F oven for 10 minutes. reduce temperature to 300°F -325 F and bake almost and hour, or until filling no longer shakes.

Tip: for an extra-special pecan pie presentation, before putting in the oven, arrange pecan halves in a flower pattern across the top of the pie, beginning at the edge of the crust and working inward until the filling is entirely covered, then lightly brush the exposed pecans with a mixture of granulated imperial sugar or imperial sugar light or dark brown sugar dissolved in a little water. the pecans will caramelize, giving your pie a candied crust.
