SQUASH CUSTARD PIE



Squash Custard Pie image

Acorn squash has been a favorite of mine since I was little and my mother baked it with sugar and cinnamon. This particular pie was something I improvised. We love pumpkin pie, but had fresh squash in excess. So I came up with this new variation! It's good to take to potlucks, to pie or cake walks at school, or to serve as a different dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. -Mary Kelly, Hopland, California

YUMMY SQUASH CUSTARD



Yummy Squash Custard image

This is a recipe that I got from an old friend and then changed just a bit to fit our family. My father-in-law used to make it with white/patty-pan squash, but I have used many kinds: zucchini, white, yellow crookneck, spaghetti squash, and even pumpkin, all with great results, even sometimes mixing two squashes. Most people trying this would not believe it is squash. Enjoy! Serve warm.
