1 PINT OF BOURBON WHISKEY

1/2 CUP LIGHT CORN SYRUP... GOLDEN SYRUP
3 EGGS
1 TEASPOON REAL VANILLA
PINCH SALT IF UNSALTED BUTTER IS USED.
1}9-INCH PIE CRUST. {DOUGH TYPE }.

ABOUT 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE, START SOAKING THE PACANS PIECES AND HALVES IN BOURBON WHISKEY. WHEN IT'S ALL EVAPORATED, KEEP ADDING BOURBON TILL THE NUT MEATS ARE FULL. KEEP EXTRA BOURBON .{A FEW TABLESPOONS }. FOR YOURSELF!

PUT THE PIE CRUST IN A 9-INCH {23CM.}. DISH . PLEAT THE CRUST EDGE USING YOURFINGERS . OR CREATE A SIMPLE ROLLED EDGE . SETA SIDE WHILE YOU PREPARE THE FILLING .
IN A BOWL. BLEND BUTTER, BROWN SUGAR TOGETHER .ADD EGGS AND MIX WELL.
ADD CORN SYRUP AND BROKEN PECAN PIECES. MIX WELL.

SPREAD CHOCOLATE CHIPS EVENLY AROUND BOTTOM OF PIE CRUST . { I'VE MIXED THEM IN WITH THE FILLING AND THEY ALWAYS SEEM TOS ETTLE TO THE BOTTOM ANYWAY }.

POUR PECAN/SYRUP MIXTURE ON TOP OF CHOCOLATER PIECES.

ARRANGE UNBROKEN PACAN HALVES ACROSS TOP SURFACE OF PIE.

PUT FOIL AROUND CRUST EDGE TO KEEP THE CRUST FROM BURNING.
BAKE AT 350 DEGREES {180C}. FOR 25 MINUTES, THEN REMOVE THE FOIL FROM PIE CRUST EDGES.

SPRINKLE LEFTOVER BOURBON ON TOP OF PIE. { THE SPRINKLED BOURBON KEEPS THE SURFACE FROM CRUACKING}. AND ALSO KEEPS YOU FROM CRACKING UP !!

AND RETURN THE PIE TO THE OVEN AND BAKE ANOTHER 20~25 MINUTES.REMEMBER TO SOAK THE PECANS IN BOURBON FOR 1 WEEK.BEFORE BAKING THIS PIE.HAPPY HOLIDAYS !
