Black Walnut Pie

3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 1/2 cups black walnuts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1- 9 inch; pie crust

Preheat oven to 350 degree. Check the pie crust to be sure the
edges are at least 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan
to prevent the pie filling from bubbling over the edge.

Gently combine all ingredients, in order listed. Stir enough to
begin dissolving the sugar, but not enough to incorporate air into
the filling. Do not beat, or the pie will have air bubbles on the
top, instead of black walnuts, spoiling the glossy look of the
glazed nuts.

Pour into the unbaked pie crust. Bake on a cookie sheet one hour,
or until the center of the pie is no longer loose and the black
walnuts are browned.

Serve either hot or cold, but for the best appearance, allow the
pie to reach room temperature before cutting. Whipped cream or ice
cream is a wonderful addition. For a gourmet treat, serve this pie
hot.
