Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Raisin Chocolate Pie

1 Pie Shell
1/4 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup cane syrup
1 cup halved pecans
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup raisins (I use 1/2 cup)
1 cup chocolate chips (I like to use the small ones)

Preheat oven to 450 F and bake the pie shell partially, (about 5-7 mins). Allow
to cool. Reduce oven heat to 375 F. Cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs
one at a time. Stir in remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Place the
chips in a single layer on the partially baked pie crust and gently pour the
filling over the top. Bake the pie about 45 mins or until a knife inserted in
the filling comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.

My personal suggestion is that you use a large pie plate like the pyrex pie
plates. This recipes has a tendency to swell while it's baking and sharing
its contents with the oven floor.
Another trick I did was to soak the raisins in a bit of the bourbon overnight
before I put them in the recipe. When you bit into the pie, you got a little
burst of raisin, bourbon juice.
