Rum Infused Pecan Pie

Ingredients for 8 portions
1 basic pie dough recipe
2 cups of pecans halves
¾ cup of molasses
¾ cup of brown sugar
3 eggs lightly beaten
3 Tbs. of Ron de Venezuela Santa Teresa Añejo
2 Tbs. of melted butter
1 Tsp. of vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350°F. On a floured surface, roll the dough with a dusted roller, until ½ to ¼ inch thick. Transfer the dough to a pie dish and slightly press the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the edges and form a rim, decorating either with fingers or a fork. Evenly spread the pecans in the unbaked pie crust.  In a bowl, combine the eggs, molasses, sugar, rum, butter and vanilla extract. Cover the pecans with the custard and bake, on the center rack of the oven for 1 hour. Let cool down a couple of hours before serving.
