Yields 1 pie

INGREDIENTS

1 batch of your favorite crust for a 1-crust pie in a 9-inch pie pan

3/4 cup light Karo syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
1/3 cup sliced almonds

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir the syrup together and bring to a boil. Continue cooking about 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and stir in the cold butter. Cool the syrup for 5 minutes. Whip the eggs in a bowl with a whisk to break the yolks, then whisk in the syrup and vanilla. Pour through a sieve (to catch any bit of crystallized sugar) into the shell. Sprinkle with pecans then finally with almonds and bake to 30 minutes. Place a sheet pan on the shelf below the pie to catch any drips. Cool before serving.
