Directions
1.
Pastry: Mix flour and salt in bowl. Cut in shortening and butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
2.
Sprinkle ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and vinegar, over flour mixture, tossing with fork after each addition, until just moist enough to form mass. Shape into 5-inch disk. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
3.
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
4.
Roll out dough on floured surface into 11-inch round. Fit in 9-inch pie plate. Fold overhanging pastry under to make edge; press all around edge with tines of fork.
5.
Filling: Heat sugar, syrup, butter, cinnamon, cloves and salt in saucepan over medium heat to melt butter. Off heat, whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add almonds and hazelnuts. Pour into shell. Arrange pecans in circles, beginning at outside and working towards center.
6.
Bake in 325 degrees F oven 50 minutes, until golden brown and knife inserted near center tests clean. Cool.
