Tip-Top Inn Pecan Pie

Thanks to Sis Kelly, who was the owner of the Tip-Top Inn on Pawley's Island when she gave my friends and me this recipe. (The Tip-Top Inn was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, so the only way to get this pie today is to make it yourself.)

Cream 4 tbsp butter and 1 C. light brown sugar
Add 1 C. white Karo syrup, creaming constantly
Add ¼ tsp salt to 3 eggs, beat until light and fluffy
Fold eggs into sugar and butter mixture
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add 1 C. broken pecans

Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake 45 minutes at 300º
