Number Of Ingredients 15

- pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1/2 cup(s) chopped dried figs
3 tablespoon(s) water
2 tablespoon(s) water
3/4 cup(s) packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1 cup(s) corn syrup
3 - eggs
6 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup(s) deluxe mixed nuts
FOR THE TOPPING
1 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoon(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) orange marmalade

Steps:

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. Reduce heat to 300°.
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, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Add the corn syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla and fig mixture; stir in nuts. Pour into crust.
Bake at 300° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours 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 soft peaks form. Serve with pie. Refrigerate leftovers.
