Gotta Try Pecan/Pumpkin Pie - This Year's Thanksgiving Test Recipe

2013 - Last Years Post, getting Thanksgiving planning done early.  

Pecan Pumpkin Pie.  My family will hate this... they prefer no nuts in anything.    But sometimes I must bake to please myself.  

• Mix the following ingredients together and pour over a gf crust.  
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Then mix the following together and pour over the pecan mix in the pie shell.  

• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons g/f flour (rice flour works) 
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 
  

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until set.  

Yup, I was right.  The family hates it, but I am in pecan pumpkin happy land.  I get a whole entire pie to myself and I'm enjoying it.  Great recipe I'd say.
