    In medium sauce pan put your butter, sugar, and karo syrup cook this on medium high heat stir CONSTANTLY to avoid burning. If you want a nice solid pie not runny very important that you bring tihs mixture ALL THE WAY to a high boil we are talking boiling almost to the top of your pan this takes about 15 minutes to accomplish. Once boiling turn off heat and I continue to stir it until it back to smooth with no bubbles then set aside for a moment.

Next immediately pour the filling over the top of your pecans and put into the oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy!
