The author, Diane Roupe, a born and bred Midwesterner from Iowa, is a winner of numerous blue ribbons for food at the Iowa State Fair, and is now a respected judge at the event. In 29 chapters devoted to everything from hors d'oeuvres to pasta to canning, "The Blue Ribbon Country Cookbook" is filled with the traditional, favorite dishes of Midwesterners -- classics like Swiss Steak, Scalloped Corn, Sour Cream Raisin Pie, and Divinity, plus modern dishes like Wild Rice Salad, Poached Salmon Steaks, and Snappy Stir-Fry Vegetables, which play an important role in today's Midwest fare. Here's a recipe from what is destined to be a much used, standard cookbook in the kitchens of cooks not only in the Midwest, but across America for years to come.</div> <bR> <div> <B>CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE</b> -3/4 cup sugar,1-1/4 cups dark corn syrup,2 oz. (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate,1/4 cup (4 tablespoons butter) 4 extra-large eggs, slightly beaten,1 tablespoon Myers' (dark) rum, 2 cups (8 oz.) pecan halves,1- 9-inch unbaked Pastry Piecrust pie shell, Whipped cream.</div> <div> Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium saucepan, place the sugar and syrup; stir to combine. Slowly bring the syrup mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and butter; stir until melted and blended. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture to the eggs and quickly stir in. Then, add the egg mixture to the remaining chocolate mixture; using a handheld electric mixer, beat on low speed only until blended. Add the rum; using a spoon, stir to blend. Add the pecans; stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Place the pie in the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a table knife inserted into the filling halfway between the edge and the center of the pie comes out clean. The filling will continue cooking after removal of the pie from the oven, and the center of the pie will fully set. Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Serve the pie at room temperature, with a dollop of the whipped cream spooned on top of each slice. After serving, leftover pie should be refrigerated. Makes one 9-inch pie: 7 servings.
