Burnt Sugar Pecan Rum Sauce Recipes

BURNT-SUGAR PECAN PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch (1-quart) pie tin. Crimp the edge of the dough decoratively and chill the shell for 30 minutes.
• In a heavy saucepan cook the sugar over low heat, undisturbed, until it is melted, cook it over moderately low heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until it is a deep caramel color, and stir in the corn syrup, stirring the mixture until it is combined well. Add the rum and the butter and cook the mixture for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool until it stops bubbling.
• In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt and add the syrup mixture in a stream, whisking. In another bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée and the ginger and whisk in 1 1/4 cups of the egg mixture. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared shell, arrange the pecan halves decoratively on the mixture, and spoon the remaining egg mixture over the pecans. (The pecans will float to the top.) Bake the pie in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust is pale golden, let it cook, and serve it warm or at room temperature with the whipped cream.

FAVORITE PECAN PIE WITH RUM

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. I used Pillsbury refrigerated Pie Crust. Follow directions on package to line pie plate. NOTE: I did add my own spin to this recipe by combining light and dark syrups, & using Vanilla Bean Paste instead of vanilla extract & added the nuts to the pie crust and allowed them to float to the surface.
• 2. These are some of the ingredients I used for the pie. Combine melted butter, sugar & corn syrup in a medium size sauce pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves & no granules remain in sauce pan.
• 3. Then pour mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool at least 5-7 minutes or so. NOTE: COOLING THE MIXTURE FIRST, PREVENTS THE EGGS FROM BEING SCRAMBLED WHEN YOU ADD THEM IN. Then add in the 4 eggs, salt, vanilla Bean paste or extract,& Rum & beat until well blended.
• 4. Shape pie crust into pie plate, then prick with a fork, making sure pie crust conforms to shape of plate. Crimp Edges of crust. Add the pecan halves to the pie plate.
• 5. Pour filling carefully into pie plate over the pecan halves, pecan halves will slowly begin to rise to the top. Place pie in preheated 325 degree F. oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Allow pie to at least come to room temperature before slicing. Serve with cool whip or ice cream if desired.
• 6. I baked 2 pies at once and they turned out perfectly. The recipe I have given is for one pie.
