Directions:
"Nearly 15 years ago, I was honored at a dinner party at the Phoenix
Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky. Pecan pie was served for dessert. But what
pecan pie! Never had I tasted anything so delicious. After dinner, I
went to the kitchen to congratulate the pastry chef. He was so
pleased, he gave me the recipe. I tried it at home. Mine was every bit
as good as his. And it was so easy to make, that I wrote and asked
permission to share the recipe with my readers. He cooperated, and I
published it. Notes came by the thousands saying, "That was the best
pecan pie my family has ever tasted." So here it is: from a Dear Abby
column
Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter and vanilla and mix well. Add
slightly beated eggs. Pour into unbaked pe shell. Sprinkle pecans over
all. Bake in preheated 350` oven for approximately 45 minutes. When
cool, you may top with whipped cream or ice cream. but nothing tops
this! Helen Jolly
