Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups Pecans
- 0.25 cup Spiced rum (preferably Captain Morgan’s or similar)
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the pecans evenly over the unbaked pie crust and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup.
Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar is fully dissolved, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, then whisk in the spiced rum, vanilla extract, and salt.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly pour a small amount of the heated sugar mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper and avoid scrambling.
Once tempered, slowly whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Carefully pour the filling over the pecans in the prepared pie crust, ensuring that the pecans are evenly distributed.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve your Drunken Jack Pecan Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
