What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar, and bourbon until soft peaks form. Place in refrigerator.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine corn syrup, butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt; stir until butter melts. Remove from heat and add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir in pecans and pour into pie shell.
Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until firm. Serve warm or allow to cool before serving, topped with dollops of the bourbon cream.
