 Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Cream together butter
 and brown sugar. Beat in 4 egg yolks. Mix together
 flour and spices and then add. Stir in cream, dates,
 raisins and nuts.  Fill the shell;bake the pie until
 set, about 30 minutes.  When cool take 2 or 3 egg
 whites and make a meringue as a topping. The dates are
 not necessary but a nice extra;without them and the
 nuts it is called a Kentucky or Arkansas pie. This is
 a great favorite in southern cafeteria and small town
 restaurants. Source: mom
