To make this Koloa macadamia rum pie recipe, put chopped nuts into the bottom of the pre-baked pie shell and set aside.Combine melted butter, granulated sugar, the dark brown sugar, light corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract and rum. Pour mixture on top of chopped macadamia nuts. Place a decorative row of whole macadamia nuts on the top. Bake about 50–60 minutes on the center rack of the oven or until cooked through. The pie will spring back on top but still jiggle a little until it cools. If the top is getting too dark before the center is done, tent with aluminum foil. Cool for a minimum of three hours. The pie is best made the day before.
Note: Pre-bake the pie shell according to package directions at least two hours beforehand to allow time to cool.
