Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

In a mixing bowl, whip the eggs.

Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the eggs.

Mix in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of corn syrup, ensuring there are no lumps in the brown sugar.

Chop the pecans if desired, then add 1 cup of pecans to the mixture.

Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell without pricking it.

Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes.

Check the pie for doneness; it should rise and crack slightly on top.

Cool the pie on a wire rack completely before cutting.
