How to Make Loveless Cafe Blue Ribbon Pecan Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup (1 cup), dark corn syrup (1/2 cup), granulated sugar (1 cup), packed light brown sugar (1/2 cup), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and eggs (3 large) until completely smooth and well combined.
Gently stir in the vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and melted unsalted butter (1/2 cup).
Place the pecan halves (2 cups) evenly into the prepared 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the custard mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are fully coated.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly. The filling should puff up slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. For best results, allow to cool for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
