Recipe - Oatmeal Pecan Pie

One fourth cup Rolled oats
3 Egg; beaten
One half cup Honey
One half cup Sugar, white
1 cup Sugar, brown
1/8 teaspoon Pepper, black
2 tablespoon Butter, sweet; melted
One fourth cup Heavy cream
One half teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Pecans

RUMMED OAT CRUST
1/3 cup Rolled oats
Three fourths cup Flour
1 teaspoon Sugar
One half teaspoon Salt
6 tablespoon Crisco; chilled
1 Egg yolk; beaten
2 tablespoon Rum, dark

Roll out the Rummed Oat Crust dough on a lightly floured board, and line a
9inch pie plate with it. Trim and flute the edges.

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Place the oats in a mediumsized skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring
constantly, until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Beat in the honey, both sugars,
pepper, butter, cream and vanilla. Stir in the oats and the pecan pieces.
Pour into the pie shell and bake 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325F and
continue to bake until the filling is firm, about 30 minutes longer. Serve
warm. Serves 8.

Crust: Combine oats, flour sugar and salt. Cut chilled shortening into dry
ingredients. Mix in the egg yolk with a fork, and add enough rum to form a
soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before using. Makes
one 9 crust
