1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

dash salt
2/3 cup light or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

In small bowl, combine one egg, pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Spread in pie crust.
In medium bowl, beat remaining two eggs slightly. Stir in corn syrup and remaining 2/3 cup sugar, the butter and vanilla; stir until well blended.
Stir in pecans. Carefully spoon over pumpkin mixture.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is set around edge. Cool pie completely on wire rack.
