Deadly Southern Pecan Pie

1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. corn syrup (use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light)
4 eggs
1/4 c. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. pecans, coarsely broken
1 unbaked deep dish pie shell

In saucepan boil sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.

In large bowl beat eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.

At this point you can strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.

Stir in butter, vanilla, and pecans and pour into crust.

Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until set.
