Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup bourbon
- 1 piece pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup light corn syrup
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and bourbon. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or until the raisins have absorbed most of the liquid.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and granulated sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the cooled sugar mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Drain the soaked raisins, reserving any leftover bourbon. Fold the raisins, pecan halves, and any reserved bourbon into the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pie has a golden-brown top. If the crust begins to brown too much, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help the filling set properly.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Tipsy Raisin Pecan Pie!
