Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Pie shell, 9 inch baked
1/2 c Butter
2 c Sugar, light brown
4 Egg yolks
2 tb Flour, all purpose
1 t Cinnamon
1/2 ts Allspice
1 t Nutmeg
1 c Cream or evaporated milk
1/2 c Dates -- chopped
1/2 c Raisins
1/2 c Pecan meats, broken

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream together butter
and brown sugar. Beat in 4 egg yolks. Mix together
flour and spices and then add. Stir in cream, dates,
raisins and nuts. Fill the shell;bake the pie until
set, about 30 minutes. When cool take 2 or 3 egg
whites and make a meringue as a topping. The dates are
not necessary but a nice extra;without them and the
nuts it is called a Kentucky or Arkansas pie. This is
a great favorite in southern cafeteria and small town
restaurants. Source: mom
