Ingredients:

CRUST
2  cups  all-purpose flour
1  teaspoon  salt
3/4  cup  shortening
6  tablespoons  cold water
1  teaspoon  distilled vinegar, white

FILLING
4    eggs, lightly beaten
1/4  cup  packed brown sugar
1/4  cup  sugar, white
1/2  teaspoon  salt
1  cup  light corn syrup
2  tablespoons  butter, melted
1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
1  cup  chopped pecans
1  tablespoon  bourbon, optional

TOPPING
1/3  cup  packed brown sugar
3  tablespoons  butter
3  tablespoons  honey
1 1/2  cups  pecan halves

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Gradually add water and vinegar. Cut together until mixture will hold together. Press dough into a ball and flour each side lightly. Wrap in plastic and chill for 20 minutes. Roll out between wax paper into a circle 1/8 inch thick and press into 9 inch pie pan.

3. To Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Add bourbon if desired. Mix well. Spoon mixture into unbaked pie shell.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cover edges of pastry with aluminum foil. Return to oven for 20 minutes.

5. To Make Topping: Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, butter or margarine, and honey in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves - about 2 minutes. Add pecans. Stir just until coated. Spoon topping evenly over pie.

6. Keep foil on edges of pastry and return pie to oven for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, until topping is bubbly and golden brown. Cool to room temperature before serving.
