Mix the syrup, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.

Cut up butter but DO NOT melt it.

Mix the butter into your pie mixture.

Add all of the pecans and mix well.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Place your pie on a cookie sheet covered in tinfoil (to catch any spillage) and then cover the edges of the pie with small strips of tin foil.

This will protect your pie edges from burning while the rest of the pie is still cooking.

Bake at 350 degrees with the edges of the pie crust covered for 60 to 70 minutes.

Remove the cover for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Allow the pie to cool for a few hours before serving.
