Remove the crust and cool. Reduce the temperature to 300\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">While the crust is cooling combine the butter, brown sugar, sugar, honey and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for between 2 to 3 minutes but no longer less and no longer than that.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the nuts, cream, salt and vanilla. Mix to combine and then gently spoon the nut mixture into the crust.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Return the pan to the oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling. (Don\u2019t worry if it looks a little runny, it will set as it cools.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Cook enough to cover then let set up for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before you try to cut it.
