Pumpkin Pecan Pie (aka The-Best-of-Both-Worlds Pie)
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, divided
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (I used organic)
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- dash of sea salt
- 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 pie crust (use your favorite recipe or go for the pre-made kind)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a small bowl, mix together one egg, pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sea salt. Spread in pie crust.
In a medium bowl, beat the remaining two eggs slightly. Stir in corn syrup and the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, the butter and vanilla; stir until well blended. Stir in pecans. Carefully spoon over pumpkin mixture.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is set around edge. Cool pie completely on wire rack.
**I have had this recipe for the past few Thanksgivings, and I can’t, for the life of me, remember where I found it. Somewhere on the internet, I presume.**
