Mom's Pecan Pie

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole pecans
9-inch unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

*Pecan pie is an impressive dessert that couldn't be easier. But don't be fooled! This pie is not any healthier for you than pumpkin pie just because it has heart-healthy pecans. Those pecans are floating over a bed of pure sugar...but it's so hard to resist!! This pie goes great with a hot cup of coffee and a dollop of fresh whipped cream. It's sure to impress your Thanksgiving guests!

Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14
