How to make praline pumpkin pie:

Prepare and roll out pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate. Trim pastry 1/2-inch beyond edge of pie plate. Flute edge high. Do not prick. Line with a double thickness of foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 4 to 5 minutes more or until set and dry. Cool.

Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and margarine or butter in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until margarine is melted and brown sugar is dissolved (mixture may appear separated). Stir in pecans. Spread over bottom of pastry shell; cool to room temperature.

For filling, combine pumpkin, 2/3 cup brown sugar and spices. Add eggs. Beat lightly with a rotary beater or fork. Gradually stir in evaporated milk, milk and bourbon/rum. Mix well.

Place pie shell on oven rack; pour in filling. Cover edge with foil. Bake in a 375° oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 20 to 25 minutes more until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill to store.
