  • 8 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling

Ingredients

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried Calimyrna figs
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups deluxe mixed nuts
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange marmalade

Directions

  • Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Line pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepan, combine figs and water. Cook and stir over low heat until water is absorbed. Remove from the heat; stir in marmalade. In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar and cornstarch. Add the eggs, corn syrup, butter, vanilla and fig mixture; stir in nuts. Pour into pastry.
  • Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until set. Cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and marmalade; beat until stiff peaks form. Serve with pie. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
