Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry. Use the pastry to line a 23cm tart tin, keeping any off-cuts in case you need to fill any cracks after blind-baking. Prick the base of the pastry case with a fork and chill for 30 mins, or until firm.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake for 15-20 mins until the sides are set. Remove the beans and parchment and return the tin to the oven for 5-10 mins until the pastry is golden and the base is set. Leave to cool.
- Increase oven to 200C/190C fan/gas 6. Use an electric whisk to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Keep the beaters going and pour in both of the syrups. Gradually add the eggs, ¼ tsp salt and the vanilla, then whisk until combined. Stir through the pecans, then pour the mixture into the tart case. Bake for 10 mins. Turn heat down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and continue baking for 30-35 mins (the pie should be golden brown and the filling should wobble a little in the centre when shaken). Leave to cool in the tin. You'll probably need to run a knife around the tin to lift out the pie. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pecans. If you only have access to pre-packaged pecans, toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before using.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the jam. This will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
- Cook the jam over medium heat. If you cook it over too high of heat, the jam will be more likely to scorch.
- Stir the jam frequently while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220°F.
- Pour the jam into clean, sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Conclusion:
Pecan pie jam is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or ice cream. It is also a great way to use up leftover pecans. With its rich, buttery flavor and crunchy pecan bits, pecan pie jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
