70's Pecan Pie




Source of Recipe


Old News paper clipping saying "Governor Shapp {cut off} Rapped by {cut off}" on back






Recipe Introduction


It's a 1971 to 1979 recipe from the local newspaper that someone clipped out and saved





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup syrup [paper suggests White Karo]
  
• 1 cup pecan pieces
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 tsp vanilla [real vanilla ok?]
  






Instructions



1. Beat eggs slightly. Add sugar nuts and flavorings plus salt. Mix well
   
2. Bake in moderate oven [350F] for 30 minutes or until firm.
   
3. Serve with whipped cream [the real not the canned or tub variety ok?] or ice cream.
   
4. The recipe assumes you have enough brains to know how to do the pie crust because people actually could cook back then. You knew what a moderate oven was. You knew what pie crust you needed for this.
   
5. Don't ask, I won't answer. Go look at the JOY OF COOKING and read the section on pies before the recipes.
   






Final Comments


I would suggest an OLD version of the Joy of Cooking. I just picked up my version at the thrift store for $1.50 for my niece because mine is so food stained.
