--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3                    Egg -- slightly beaten
  16      ounces        Pumpkin
     3/4  cup           Brown sugar -- firmly packed
   1 1/2  cups          Half & half
   3      tablespoons   Bourbon
   1      teaspoon      Cinnamon -- ground
     1/2  teaspoon      Ginger powder
     1/4  teaspoon      Salt
   1                    Pie shell, 9" -- unbaked
   2      tablespoons   Butter
     1/4  cup           Brown sugar -- firmly packed
   1      cup           Pecan halves
     1/4  cup           Bourbon -- divided

Combine eggs, pumpkin, 3/4 cup sugar, half-and-half, 3 tablespoons bourbon, cinnamon, ginger,
 and salt; mix well. Pour mixture into the pie shell; bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat
 to 350, and bake an additional 45 minutes or until set.  Set aside to cool. Combine butter
 and 1/4 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.
