Title: Pumpkin-Pecan Pie
Categories: Pies, Squash, Nuts, Pastry
Yield: 6 Servings

1 Unbaked 9" pie shell

MMMMM----------------------PUMPKIN FILLING---------------------------
1 lg Egg; slightly beaten
1 c Pumpkin purée
1/3 c Sugar
1 tb Heavy cream, Half & Half or
- whole milk
1/2 ts Cinnamon; rounded
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Ground ginger

MMMMM-----------------------PECAN FILLING----------------------------
2 lg Eggs; slightly beaten
2/3 c Light corn syrup (Karo)
1/2 c Sugar
3 tb Butter; melted
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Chopped pecans *

* I've made this with (English) walnuts, as well. Tried it
once with Black Walnuts but the pie was not so successful.

This is an excellent pie. The layers remain separate and
distinct, and the flavors compliment each other
beautifully.

Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

For the pumpkin layer, combine 1 egg, pumpkin, 1/3 c
sugar, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Spread gently
over bottom of unbaked pie shell.

For the pecan layer, combine 2 eggs, corn syrup, 1/2 c
sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Gently spoon
mixture over pumpkin layer in pie shell.

OPTIONAL: Place a layer of half nuts on top of the pie
before placing in the oven.

Bake for 50 minutes.
