Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds hubbard squash, unpeeled and cut into large chunks
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice
3 large eggs
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange squash chunks, flesh-side up, on the baking sheet.

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

HUBBARD SQUASH PIE



Hubbard Squash Pie image

My mom made this pie-never pumpkin-each Thanksgiving, and everyone looked forward to it. I have fond memories of my dad cutting up a hulking big blue Hubbard squash on the kitchen counter and cooking it in order for Mom to make the pies. A more manageable butternut squash will deliver an equally delicate-tasting pie! -Patti Ann Christian, Ararat, North Carolina
