Baking a pecan pie ?

justEK

It's actually a chocolate pecan pie, but I'm not doing the chocolate (DH wants it without). If it calls for dark corn syrup, can I use light corn syrup instead? Damn, I just realized I did not get bourbon.

Here's the recipe.

Ingredients

1   (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
2 cup pecan halves
3   large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoon good-quality bourbon
3 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 

Cover bottom of pie crust with pecans. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter. Add the corn syrup, sugar, bourbon and the chopped chocolate. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Pour mixture into the pie shell over the pecans and place on a heavy-duty cookie sheet. 

Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for an additional 25 minutes or until pie is set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

I always use light corn syrup and never put in the rum because I don't have either of those two things in my house ever.  It will be just fine!

I was hoping it would be fine without the bourbon. Thank you!
