Post by: Mommom on July 25, 2007, 05:37:56 AM
Praline Pumpkin Pie

From Cookery N’Orleans Style

1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3 large eggs, beaten
½ cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon cloves
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 ½ cups pumpkin (1 16 oz can)
1 ¼ cups beaten Carnation Evaporated Milk

Combine first 3 ingredients and press into bottom of unbaked pie shell.  Prick sides of shell and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.  Cool.  Combine all remaining ingredients.  Pour over pecan mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes until set.  Cool.

Serve with sweetened whipped cream.

Note:  This pumpkin filling is especially good.  It makes more than needed for one pie.  You bake the additional in custard cups.
