Pour into unbaked pie crust; sprinkle with pecan halves.

Bake at 350* for 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set. (Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean when pie is done.)

Background: Note: The original recipe stated that the pie should be baked 45 to 50 minutes in a preheated 350* gas oven. If an electric oven is used, it may be necessary to add 15 to 20 minutes to the baking time. (Begin testing the pie with the toothpick aftr 45 minutes.)
