pecan coconut pie filling

Pecan pie is my favorite pie. And since I love cocnut too, I started adding it to my pecan pie recipe and it rocks. This recipe can be used for pies or for filling pastries.

The Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups sugar

- 1/4 cup corn syrup (light or dark, up to you)

- 1/4 cup butter

- 2 tbsp cold water

- 2 tsp cornstarch

- 3 large eggs

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

- 1/4 cup coconut

- 1 ready made pie crust

The Rundown:
- Preheat oven to 350 F

- spray pie plate (9") with cooking spray, lay down piecrust

- in medium saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup, butter, water and cornstarch

- stir well until just boiling, remove from heat

- in mixing bowl, beat eggs until frothy

- add vanilla, salt, pecans and coconut

- slowly mix in sugar mixture, stir well.

- pour into piecrust, bake 45-50 min, til center is set

- cool completely before serving

**-If youre going to use it to fill pastries, bake JUST the filling in a well greased 9" round baking pan at 350F for 40 min, stir well and then fill your pastries and bake according to pastry directions.**
