Transparent Pie recipe

This is a Southern specialty.

Unbaked pie shell
1/4 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grating of nutmeg or 2 tablespoon lemon juice
Small amount of tart jelly, if desired, for more flavor

Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Bake pie shell only partially, from 5 to 7 minutes. Allow it to cool.

Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees F. Cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in remaining ingredients. Fill the shell. Bake the pie about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the filling comes out clean.

Serve warm or cold.
