AMBROSIA PECAN PIE
A family favorite that puts a new twist on the traditional Pecan Pie. It has great taste and flavor and the hardest part about this pie is remembering that it is in the oven. LOL!!!

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, beat eggs, corn syrup, sugars, orange juice, butter, orange peel and salt until well blended.
- 2. Stir in pecans and coconut.
- 3. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 350 degree for 50-60 minutes or until a knife test thru the center of the pie comes out clean. You should also use a pie cover and if you don't have one, I have always used foil around the outside of the pie so the edges do not burn. :)
