Pecan Pie Filling

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2
   Lightly spray a 8"x8" (2 quart) glass baking dish OR a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick spray.
3. 3
   Mix sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and pecans together in a bowl and stir until they are well mixed. Then pour into your greased dish.
4. 4
   Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Use a spoon to stir the filling every 15 minutes as it bakes.
5. 5
   When the timer goes off remove the filling from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before using. You want the filling to have a consistency similar to a thick jam. Thick enough that it doesn't run off of your spoon but still spreadable.
6. 6
   Use immediately or let cool completely and store until ready to use.
