Ginger Praline:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely minced gingerroot

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch cloves

Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees for par-baking crust. While crust is par baking mix sugar, butter and ginger until well blended.
Take pie shell out of oven and crumble praline mixture over bottom.
Bake until sides of crust are golden and praline in bubbling, about 12 minutes.
Check for bubbles (Press them down gently with the back of a spoon) Remove from oven, reduce temperature to 325.
Whisk pumpkin and dry ingredients together until smooth.
Add eggs, cream and vanilla and whisk until just blended.
When praline has hardened but is still warm, pour filling into crust.
Bake until edge of filling looks slightly dry and center jiggles slightly.
About 45-50 minutes.
Cool completely.
