BOURBON PECAN PIE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
This is a classic and simple recipe given a Southern kick with a little bourbon.

You do need both light and dark corn syrup for this — using only one or the other will change the pie’s flavor. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)
