My wife makes a pecan pie (the pecan tree is the State Tree of Texas, btw)
that is a recipe from her mother.  I believe the "filling" is really nothing
but Kayro syrup.  There are two kinds of Kayro: light and dark.  I think she
uses the dark, but she might use half light and half dark.  The lightness or
darkness really has nothing to do with the taste, because they're both just
plain corn syrup.  No wonder it's rare to find them not oversweetened!

Pecan is pronounced (around these parts) with stress on the final syllable,
and the "a" is pronounced like a in father.
