Hubbard Squash Pie image

My mom made this pie-never pumpkin-each Thanksgiving, and everyone looked forward to it. I have fond memories of my dad cutting up a hulking big blue Hubbard squash on the kitchen counter and cooking it in order for Mom to make the pies. A more manageable butternut squash will deliver an equally delicate-tasting pie! -Patti Ann Christian, Ararat, North Carolina
