PLACE THE WHOLE TIN OF GOLDEN SYRUP INTO HOT WATER, THEN REMOVE THE LID AND IT WILL EASILY POUR INTO A SAUCEPAN. ADD THE SUGAR AND MAPLE SYRUP, HEAT UNTIL WARM.
ADD THE BEATEN EGGS AND MIX WELL IN, BEFORE STIRRING IN THE PECAN NUT - POUR MIX INTO BAKED PASTY AND RETURN TO THE OVEN AT 335C FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE FILLING IS JUST SET.
