Recipe for "pumpkin-pie-2"

NAME

     PUMPKIN-PIE-2 - A rich pie with pumpkin and pecans
     I've been cooking this recipe for a few years, and my people
     love  it. It combines the best of the flavors of pumpkin and
     pecan.

INGREDIENTS (1 22-cm pie)

     1         deep dish unbaked pie crust
     3         eggs
     250 ml    dark corn syrup
     300 g     sugar
     60 g      melted butter (or margarine)
     180 g     pumpkin
     5 ml      vanilla
     180 g     pecan halves

               and beat well.
          (3)  Put pecans in bottom of pie crust and slowly  pour
               egg mixture over nuts.
          (4)  Bake 45 minutes, or until knife inserted one  inch
               from edges comes out clean.
          (5)  Let pie cool (if cut warm, the pie will be  runny)
               Serve with whipped cream.

     You can use choopped pecans, but pecan halves are prettier.
