Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325
- In a 9 inch deep dish pie plate, press out your pie dough and flute the edges (crimp).
- Place the sugars and corn syrup in a medium size bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 secs on high and then add it to the dark brown sugar and corn syrup while still hot. Mix very well (it will take a minute or two of mixing).
- In a separate medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs, bourbon, vanilla, almond and salt. Whisk until the eggs are beaten well and everything is mixed well.
- Whisking continuously, mix the sugar mix into the egg mix.
- Gently fold in the pecans
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
- bake at 325 for 1 hour (depending on your oven it might take longer or less - start checking at 55 minutes and then bake until the pie is just jiggly in the center.) . In my oven, this is about an hour and 5 minutes. In your oven, it could be 55 minutes or it could be an hour and 15 minutes (or anything in between).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack or folded towel until completely cooled and gelled. Place in the refrigerator until time to eat.
Notes
- Use Kentucky Bourbon - which are brands such as Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, Jim Beam, Wild Turkey and Jefferson Reserve. You can google your own list, there are more, of course.
- This is my rule whenever alcohol is involved in a recipe - always use a type of alcohol that is something you would serve to yourself and friends. If you wouldn’t drink it that way, then do not put it in your food.
- It is important to allow this pie to cool all the way before slicing. If it isn’t completely cool, the guts will run all over the plate and you will have a loose sloppy pie. It will taste fine, no worries there, but if you are going to the effort to make a pie, then hide it from everyone until it is completely set and cool. Just my advice.
- Keep it in the fridge once you have allowed it to cool. Cover with plastic wrap, or the equivalent. This keeps the flavor on point!
