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

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.

SQUASH PIE



Squash Pie image

A wonderful use for fall squash. If there is too much filling, surplus may be baked in custard cups set in pan of hot water. Do not bake together with the pie, because the steam from the water will make the pie soggy.
