Bourbon Pecan Pie

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup dark corn syrup (I tried to get this at Trader Joe's, but they looked at me like I was crazy.  QFC had it!)
3 large eggs
2 cups pecans
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 9 inch frozen pie crust (you can make your own pie crust, but I was feeling lazy)


Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-Thaw pie crust.
-In a large bowl, beat the eggs.  Stir in the sugar and melted butter and mix until smooth.
-In a food processor, chop the pecans but just a little bit (or just get halved/chopped pecans to start).


-Add the corn syrup, pecans, and bourbon to the sugar/sugar/butter mixture and stir until everything is combined.

-Pour mixture into pie crust.  Place on cookie sheet on middle rack of oven and bake for 10 minutes.

-Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 25 additional minutes.  Check the temperature of the filling and it should be 190-200 degrees before you take it out.
-Remove pie from oven and allow to cool fully.
