1 unbaked frozen 9 inch pie crust (remove from freezer 20 minutes ahead)
2 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. white corn syrup
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. pecan halves (reserve 6 to 8 halves for decorating)

YOU'LL NEED:

Blender
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Table knife
Potholders
Cooling rack

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put eggs, sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla in blender and cover top. Blend on high speed. Add the pecans and blend just a few seconds to chop nuts coarsely. Pour into the pie crust and arrange reserved pecan halves on top. Set timer for 15 minutes and bake. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees, then reset the timer for 25 minutes. When a table knife stuck into the center comes out clean, the pie will be done. Remove the pie from the oven using potholders. Put on a cooling rack. Serve pie at room temperature. Makes 1 (9 inch) pie.
