"This wonderful pie was loved by my DH (who hates slimey pecan pie) and my Uncle who hates smushy pumpkin pie! It was a big hit from the Karo syrup website."

Do you use milk -
Does this pie freeze well? I am finding conflicting advice on freezing pumpkin (some say they do not freeze so well due to high water content) and pecan pies (they freeze beautifully). So wondering about the combination. Thanks! -

I recently made this recipe for a pot luck, but had no idea it would be the talk of the town. This recipe combines my two favorite fall desserts: pumpkin pie and pecan pie. I thought it might be too sweet, but it wasn't. I love pecan pie, but hate the super sweet filling, so the pumpkin is much less sweet, but you still get the buttery pecan topping. Excellent holiday pie. -
I made this yesterday as a test pie for the holidays. Yowza! Did this make the grade. I am very fond of pumpkin walnut pie but I think it has now been replaced. This pie set up so well and cut so clean which is a plus for presentation. I followed the directions to a tee. Cook time for me was 60 minutes. Can't wait for the holidays. Thanks for the super recipe. Lissa -
I didn't change a thing about this receipe! When my husband tasted it he said he was sure there is nothing I could do that would make it taste any better!!! And I agreed with him which is unusual because I cannot usually leave a recipe alone! I am a southern girl who grew up on pumpkin and pecan pie so this is just the best of both worlds! The only thought I had is I might try it using sweet potato instead of pumpkin. -
Our favourite pie. As others have mentioned, a wonderful combination of pumpkin and pecan that makes both even better than they are alone. -

This is what happens when you leave a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie alone together :-) I love it! I got this recipe out of a Nestle dessert cookbook and the only differences are in the pumpkin part instead of the cinnamon/ginger/cloves it calls for 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and in the pecan part it calls for 1/2 cup sugar and 3 Tbsp butter. I really loved this recipe because if you use soy margarine it is dairy-free - awesome! PS - I baked for 50 minutes in an unbaked Pillsbury pie shell and it set perfectly. -
