I got this from Carol Gordon, a friend from Grundy Center and the mother of Liza’s first love, John. (Man was he cute.) I was surprised at how easy it was.

1/3 C. butter
3 eggs
1 C. pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 C. brown sugar, packed
1 C. corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into a pie shell. Bake in 375º oven for 40 to 50 minutes.
