Thanksgiving Pie

Description
A rich pie with pumpkin and pecans — I've been cooking this recipe for a few years, and my people love it. It combines the best of the flavors of pumpkin and pecan.

Ingredients

 * 1 pie crust (deep dish) unbaked
 * 3 eggs
 * 1 cup corn syrup, dark
 * 1½ cup sugar
 * ¼ cup butter, melted (or margarine)
 * 1 cup pumpkin
 * 1 tbsp vanilla
 * 1 cup pecan halves

Directions

 * 1) Preheat oven to 350°F.
 * 2) Beat eggs.
 * 3) Add other ingredients except pecans and beat well.
 * 4) Put pecans in bottom of pie crust and slowly pour egg mixture over nuts.
 * 5) Bake 45 minutes, or until knife inserted one inch from edges comes out clean.
 * 6) Let pie cool (if cut warm, the pie will be runny) serve with whipped cream.
