Pecan Coconut Pie!

Now that Thanksgiving's coming up, I decided to share a delicious seasonal recipe to share with family and friends (or to eat)!

"Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell"

"Directions:
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt; mix well. Stir in pecans and coconut. Pour into pastry shell. Make a domed cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack."

"Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 45 Min
Ready In: 55 Min"

"This pie was WONDERFUL. I did add some chocolate ships. I had to bake the pie MUCH longer than the recipe calls for. Also you should use a deep dish pie shell.

Pretty tasty but next time I will cook it longer and add more pecans.

Excellent!

Very good pie and so easy to make. I added some chocolate chips to the bottom of the pie before adding the pecan mix and I think that pushed the richness factor over the edge. Next time, I'll stick to the original recipe.

I found this recipe here last year and made it for Thanksgiving, and then again for Christmas. My family loved it. It has become my favorite pecan pie. I love the combination of coconut and pecan. The taste is rich and buttery. It's easy to make and it fills the house with the most divine fragrance as it bakes. I'm making it again this year for the holidays.

I made this last night. I added more coconut, but kept everything else the same. It did need baked a tad bit longer than the recipe called for, but that was no problem. Everyone in my family loved it. Its like a traditional pecan pie but with coconut included. Makes a good and pretty pie.

This was truely an excellent pie. It was quite tasty and the corn syrup added a nice sweet flavor. I am one who usually bakes cookies and cakes for shorter than the recipe says because I like them a very light brown. However, for this recipe, I didn't have to reduce the baking time...it was perfect. The center was still a little watery after it was done, with the outside being a slightly darker brown, but after the cooling process, it isn't quite so runny. I will save this recipe and use it again. Just grab a beverage of your choice, a piece of this pie, and you're all set!"
