Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie

Name: Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie
Ingredients: The pecan pies of today bear little resemblance to their 19th-century inspiration. Could we recreate Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie without using modern-day processed corn syrup? Many traditional syrups (cane, sorghum) produced a great pie, but we had to ma; 1cup maple syrup; 1cup packed light brown sugar; 1/2cup heavy cream; 1tablespoon molasses; 4tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 1/2teaspoon Salt; 6large egg yolks, lightly beaten; 1 1/2cups toasted and chopped pecans; 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell (see note), chilled in pie plate for 30 minutes

"Why this recipe works:The pecan pies of today bear little resemblance to their 19th-century inspiration. Could we recreate Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie without using modern-day processed corn syrup? Many traditional syrups (cane, sorghum) produced a great pie, but we had to mail away for those ingredients. In the end, combining maple syrup with brown sugar and molasses replicated the old-fashioned versions perfectly. We started the pie at a high oven temperature and then dropped the temperature to ensure the bottom crust was crisp and golden brown...."
