Pecan Pie

Preparation step:
Soak 1 cup of pecans for 8 – 12 hours

Process 1 cup raw, soaked almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add 1 cup raisins, and continue to process until the almond – raisin mixture forms a ball in your food processor. (you might need to add just a bit of water). Press this “dough” into a 9-inch pie pan (preferably glass) as the crust.

Drain the pecans and place the result into the food processor with 1 cup dried figs, 1 large ripe banana, ¼ tsp. nutmeg, ¼ tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1 tsp. almond extract. Process until smooth.

Pour this “filling” into the crust shell.
Place into oven only until warm to the touch, or chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Decorate with your favorite topping.
