Recipe Summary Old-Fashioned Cushaw Pie

Early in the summer, I found an unknown plant growing in my front garden. Think it might be a squash vine, I let it grow and discovered cushaws! Sweet like pumpkins but very green, they make perfect, delectable pies.

Ingredients | Old El Paso Taco Kit Instructions Uk

1 large cushaw squash - peeled, seeded, and chopped

3 cups heavy whipping cream

1 ½ cups clover honey

4 eggs

¼ cup molasses

5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground ginger

2 teaspoons salt, divided

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

2 cups hard white flour, or more as needed

12 ⅔ tablespoons butter, softened

7 tablespoons ice-cold water

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash, cover, and steam until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Blend squash in a blender until smooth. Pour 6 cups squash puree into a large mixing bowl. Reserve any extra squash puree for a separate use.

Stir cream, honey, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, allspice, and nutmeg into 6 cups squash puree; whisk until smooth. Cover and set aside.

Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture; add water and mix well. Add more flour to dough if it is too wet. Cut dough in half and roll onto a floured work surface; form into two 10-inch circles. Press dough into 2 pie pans and pour squash filling into each.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

This recipe usually makes more than enough pie filling. I usually pour the extra filling into a graham cracker lined, glass casserole dish and bake along with the pies.

Also, these pies are excellent served with whipped cream dusted with nutmeg.

If there is extra cushaw, it can be saved and frozen for up to 3 months.
