ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole pecans

directions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, margarine/butter, and vanilla until well blended.
- Beat in sweet potatoes until well mixed.

- Stir in the pecans by hand until pecans are nicely coated with the filling.
- Pour into pie crust.
- Bake 50-55 minutes until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean. You may want to rotate at the 30 minute mark to ensure even baking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hello! Like just about everyone on this site, I love to cook. I especially love to bake--cookies, bars, cakes, and breads. My favorite cookbooks and recipe sources are those by Pillsbury, old copies of Farm Journals that I pick up at garage sales, Betty Crocker and this site. One of my real passions in cooking is experiementing...I look at a recipe and can't help but think how I could make it even better. I am hoping to post some of my creations to share.
