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.
🔗 Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
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 purée into a large mixing bowl.
Reserve any extra squash purée for a separate use.
Stir cream, honey, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, allspice, and nutmeg into 6 cups squash purée; 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.
