I haven’t tried these with homemade corn syrup. It should work but they might not keep as long due to the homemade syrup as they might harden too much if the sugar crystallizes. I’d love to hear how it worked for you, Stef.

I'm traveling right now, but I believe my food processor is 9 cups. For the crust you may just need to scrape down the sides a bit and process some more to get to the coarse crumbs. For the filling you can use a mixer. I'm kind of lazy and don't like to dirty the mixer, so I just go toss it in the food processor. I've never had a problem with spillage, but my machine might be bigger (i just don't remember & not home to check). I'm surprised it took nearly an hour to bake! Did you maybe use a smaller pan? That's the only thing I can think of that would make it take that long. I hope these suggestions help for the next time. Thanks for letting me know.

Mine is a nine cup, and the shortbread part never turned into coarse crumbs. I added a little cold water, and then just mushed it into the pan and baked it. Taste wise, it was fine. Then for the filling, again, food processor too small, so it started spilling all over the counter and dripping onto the floor (my dog was thrilled!). I still stirred in the pecans, and poured it onto the shortbread, but even with all the spillage, there was WAY too much. I baked it, and it didn't become firm till almost an hour of baking. It was still delicious. I just have to figure out what to cut back on to make less filling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054211801924354562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534382475502618381.post-83338880366717186812016-11-14T00:37:24.587-05:002016-11-14T00:37:24.587-05:00Ain't that the truth?!

I appreciate your kind words so much! You are most welcome, and I am so glad the melanoma is behind us too! I pray it stays that way :). Definitely try to get the right sized pan for this one. It does make a difference - too small and it will make a mess!! and if you go with a smaller but deeper pan to avoid the mess, you'll have to cook it much longer and the sugars might end up burning. Thanks again!
