The new pie recipe we tried and enjoyed this year consists of a layer of smooth, tasty pumpkin filling, covered by a layer of pecan filling. Lovely!.

By the way: I bought 1/2 cup bags of chopped pecans at a local health food store recently for $4 each (Ouch!). I bought a bag of fresh Alabama pecans in the shell at a flea market here in Maine for $3 on Saturday. Yippee! We must find a place for a couple of hardy pecan trees!
