ingredients
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine squash, sugar, salt, and spices. Blend in eggs, milk, and butter. Pour into the pie shell (do not prick the bottom or sides of the raw crust.).
- Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 50 minutes, or until a butterknife inserted in the filling 1" from the pie's edge comes out clean.
- Cool to slightly warm or refrigerate and serve cold.
- NOTE: Butternut squash is easy to roast. I cut a squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and rub the flesh with butter. Then I place the halves face down (skin side up) in foil-lined roasting pan in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes or so. I add about 1/2 cup of water or orange juice to the pan at the onset. Once cooled, it's easy to scrape the flesh away, strain it, and spin it in your food processor to make puree.

SALT! Sorry, but all you could taste in this pie was the salt. While I liked the texture of the pie and it smelled wonderful while baking it just didn't taste good. I may try again and omit the salt completely, unfortunately this pie ended up in the garbage can. Instead of 1/2 the pie going to my neighbors.

I am a wildlife biologist, writer, and artist living in Northern Colorado. Cooking is one of my favorite activities, second only to watching Alton Brown on food network, or Anthony Bourdain on the travel channel. I also get a kick out of prowling antique malls looking for vintage cookware.

<br>I just want to share that I am a breast cancer survivor and was diagnosed youngish and early. Look forward to hearing from anyone with recipes that use cancer-fighting ingredients.
<br>
<br>Also, although I earn most of my living as a biologist, I am an artist and sell inexpensive but high-quality reproductions of my original animal/wildlife paintings online. While I can't quit my day job yet, support from sales allow me to donate artwork to conservation causes, as silent auction items, calendars, and greeting cards. My web site is listed below.

<br>I like recipes that are simple enough that I can memorize them. This doesn't mean that I don't tackle complicated ones, just that I think it's good to have an arsenal of easy ones for any occasion. It is helpful as well to understand the science behind cooking, so you can develop your own versions of favorite dishes. It also helps if your top recipes are adaptable, in case you're missing an ingredient.
