from the Cook Book of Sisterhood of Har Zion Temple, Penn Valley, Pa, B.F. Kay (and my friend Ann Brodsky)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine first 9 ingredients (everything but the pie shell) in blender until perfectly smooth. Pour into unbaked 9-inch pie shell. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes; then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 40-45 additional minutes. If using glass pie plate, remember to reduce heat by 25 degrees (i. E. preheat to 400, then reduce to 325 at appropriate time). Serves 8 *I have tasted it without the bourbon and it's still scrumptious.
