Cover the top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans. Note: The pie should not be overly jiggly when you remove it from the oven! If it shakes a lot, cover it with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until set. The required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!
