Ingredients

  • Squash Delight:
  • A generous 2 pounds of hubbard squash, chopped into sizable pieces without peeling
  • 3 tablespoons of melted butter, ensuring a rich taste
  • 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, packed firmly for sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice for a citrusy touch
  • Pie Perfection:
  • 3 large eggs, a key component for the filling
  • ½ cup of brown sugar, firmly packed to enhance the sweetness
  • ½ cup of heavy whipping cream for a luxurious texture
  • ½ teaspoon of ground allspice, adding a warm and aromatic hint
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a familiar spice
  • ½ teaspoon of ground ginger for a subtle kick
  • ½ teaspoon of salt to balance the flavors
  • A 9-inch pie crust, unbaked and ready to be filled

Step 1

Preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grab a baking sheet, line it with shining aluminum foil, and lovingly place the squash chunks, flesh-side up, on the sheet.

Step 2

In a bowl, whip up a magical concoction of butter, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and a splash of orange juice until it becomes a smooth symphony. Drizzle this delectable mixture over the squash and give it a gentle toss to coat every nook and cranny.

Step 3

Let this delightful creation bake in the preheated oven until the skin becomes beautifully blistered and the flesh turns tender, usually about 45 minutes. Then, with care, scrape the tender flesh from the skin, discarding the skin. Blend this luscious flesh in a food processor until it transforms into a velvety smooth puree. Measure out 2 cups of this delightful squash puree, saving the rest for your next culinary adventure.

Step 4

Now, it's time to adjust the oven temperature to a cozy 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and shift the lowest rack to its lowest position.

Step 5

Combine 2 cups of the squash puree with eggs, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, cream, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of salt in a blender or with a whisk until the mixture dances smoothly together. Gently press the pie crust into a pie plate and pour this heavenly squash mixture into the crust.

Step 6

Let this masterpiece bake in the preheated oven until the pie puffs up with a small moist spot in the center, typically 50 to 60 minutes. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
