Canned Pecan Pie Filling Recipe

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Canning Jars:
    • Sterilize your canning jars, lids, and bands by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Keep them warm until ready to use.
  2. Make the Pecan Pie Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
    • Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fill the Jars:
    • Add 1/3 cup of pecan halves to each sterilized pint jar.
    • Pour the pie filling mixture over the pecans, leaving 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  4. Remove Air Bubbles:
    • Gently tap the jars or run a plastic utensil around the inside to remove any trapped air bubbles.
  5. Seal the Jars:
    • Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a proper seal.
    • Place the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight.
  6. Process the Jars:
    • Place the jars in a boiling water bath and process for 30 minutes. Adjust the processing time for altitude if necessary.
  7. Cool and Store:
    • Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a towel or cooling rack.
    • Once completely cooled, check the seals. The lids should not flex up and down when pressed.
    • Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
