Gotta perfect pumpkin cheesecake done.. but I need advice on the pecan pie..
Howz come so much of the Karo syrup is coming out of the pie?
The recipe said to use a half cup of light Karo, half cup of dark, 2 teaspoons butter and a drop of vanilla.. The mixture still had a good inch before it came up to the top of the pie, so I added a few busted up pecans in the mixture, then decorated the top with fresh split pecans.
It looked GREAT, but I took the pie out of the oven and placed it on a metal tray with a good lip on it to keep the sticky stuff off the oven and on the tray...
How come the Karo is coming out of the pie pan? .....Did I put too much in there?
O'well.... I'm sure when it's all done... it will still be edible..
Or I hope so anyway! Anything tastes good when you dump enough ice cream or whipped cream on it!
I hope after it cools off.. it looks like that one >>
after which a photograph of some pie
I dunno.
I'm not going to put down pecan pie; it's way too sweet for me, but as I'm getting a lot of grief about green bean casseroles, I'll pass on any criticism of pecan pies.
Something else however intrigues me.
I haven't seen Karo syrup since I was a little lad.
Other sorts of syrup, yes, but not Karo syrup.
Does Karo still come in those cans that look like paint-cans, and after the syrup's gone, one can use the can for storing things, for lunch-pails, and somesuch?

Karo comes in plastic bottles now, like everything else. :(

Actually, since I haven't seen it on shelves the the grocery stores for years and years, I had sort of supposed Karo syrup wasn't made any more, at all.

It's still there, but I don't see it much. It's always crammed in a corner somewhere. Sometimes it's next to the corn/vegetable oil, sometimes it's in the aisle with the sugar.

If it's getting syrup coming out, it didn't cook the pie long enough. It probably forgot to add the one cup of sugar and the eggs.

One cup of Karo is half a bottle, 2 cups is what I made two pies with Monday.
Thor yeah they probably forgot the other parts.
