Bourbon-Pecan Pumpkin Pie

Directions

Combine eggs, pumpkin, ¾ cup sugar, half-and-half, 3 tablespoons bourbon, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; mix well.

Pour mixture into the pie shell; bake at 425℉ (220℃) for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 45 minutes or until set.

Set aside to cool.

Combine butter and ¼ cup brown sugar in a saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolved.

Add pecans and 2 tablespoons bourbon, stirring to coat.

Spoon mixture over the pie.

Heat the remaining bourbon in a saucepan just long enough to produce fumes (do not boil); remove from heat, ignite, and pour over pie.

Serve pie when flames die down.
