Canadian Maple Syrup Pie

My husband emailed me this recipe with the subject line WANT, so I was so excited to make it for him for Thanksgiving! The key is to find the best maple syrup (I found some great stuff from Trader Joes - no surprise there!)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c. pure maple syrup
• 6 Tbsp. butter
• 1/2 c. whipping cream
• 1 Tbsp. white flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs
• Pre-made pie crust
• Whipped cream

Directions:

1.  Set oven to 350 degrees
2. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring syrup to just a boil
3. Cook at a gentle bubble for 5 minutes
4. Remove from heat
5. Stir in butter until melted
6. Add cream and stir
7. Transfer about 1/2 c. of the mixture to a small bowl
8. Whisk in flour and salt, and then whisk into the mixture still in the saucepan
9. Beat eggs in another small bowl and then whisk with the rest of the mixture until smooth and even
10. Mix together until smooth and even
11. Pour filling into pie shell  
    
12. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until center is golden brown and relatively firm (might jiggle a little)
13. Cool 1-2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

Enjoy!
