Nancy Reagan's Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Haven't made this yet, but sounds like a great combo for next fall, when family want both pumpkin and pecan pies.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups canned or mashed pumpkin
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 unbaked pie shell
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Break eggs into a large bowl. Beat with wire whisk. Add pumpkin, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved and ingredients are well blended. Pour into pie shell and sprinkle with pecans.
Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree F oven for 40 minutes or until filling is set.

In a separate bowl combine corn syrup, the remaining brown sugar and eggs, the butter, vanilla, rind, lemon juice, and salt. Stir in the pecans. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie shell. Gently pour the pecan mixture over the pumpkin mixture trying not to combine the 2 mixtures. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes; reduce heat and bake at 350 degrees F an additional 45 to 50 minutes or until pie is set.
