Caramel Pecan Pie

I've been making this pie since 2002 when I began doing the local farmer markets. It's a very big hit, and I do make my own caramel. I'm not sure where I got the recipe, but the original recipe is from Corwynn Darkholme.

1 unbaked pie crust
36 individually wrapped caramels (unwrapped) or 12 oz. of homemade caramel
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan over low heat, combine caramels, butter and milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Gradually mix in the melted caramel mixture. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool until filling is firm.
