Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 1 whole Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor. Stir occasionally to ensure all raisins absorb the rum evenly.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Drain the soaked raisins, reserving the rum. Stir the raisins into the egg mixture, along with the pecan halves. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the reserved rum for extra flavor if desired.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly across the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
Slice and serve as is, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
