I am looking for ways to use squash this week. In your pie recipe, it calls for 2&half cups squash, (cooked, peeling, and seeds).

Does that mean you cooked the squash in an oven or microwave without peeling or cutting it, and then put the whole thing including the peeling and seeds into the blender?

Thanks

I have cooked the squash both in the microwave and in a pot with a little water which I drain. I cut up the squash in slices before cooking, including seeds and peeling.

Yesterday I used my food processor and chopped a lot of squash (seeds and peeling included) and put about 3 c. each in freezer bags to make pies later. It cooks down just a little. This I will cook in the microwave so I don’t have to add water.

I put cooked squash in the blender along with the other ingredients, then poured the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. I made a pie yesterday using 1 tsp. vanilla instead of lemon flavoring and sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg on top. I’m not sure we don’t like it better than lemon flavored.

Oh, I do discard the ends of the squash.

Hope you enjoy the recipe.
