Me-maw's Karo Pecan Pie

Submitted by Foxgirl

"This recipe is from my late Louisiana grandmother, saved in our handwritten family cookbook. It's the only pecan pie recipe I've ever used (or probably will ever use)--it's just perfect. For a real treat, grab a piece while it's still gooey and warm from the oven (or reheat it in the microwave!) and top it with a scoop of ice cream (vanilla bean, French vanilla and butter pecan are all heavenly choices)."
