9-inch unbaked pie crust
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 heaping cup pecan halves

1. Heat oven to 350° F.

2. In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, salt and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust; sprinkle with pecan halves. 

3. Bake for 45-50 minutes.  To make sure it  doesn't burn, insert a toothpick in the center at 45 minutes. When it comes out clean, the pie is done.
