OLD-FASHIONED CUSHAW PIE



Old-Fashioned Cushaw Pie image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large cushaw squash - peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups clover honey
4 eggs
¼ cup molasses
5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups hard white flour, or more as needed
12 ⅔ tablespoons butter, softened
7 tablespoons ice-cold water

Steps:

  • 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 puree into a large mixing bowl. Reserve any extra squash puree for a separate use.
  • Stir cream, honey, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, allspice, and nutmeg into 6 cups squash puree; 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.

CUSHAW PIE



Cushaw Pie image

This is a family recipe from the kitchen of my much-missed mamaw, Avis. Nothing says "holiday" to me like cushaw pie, and I never even had regular pumpkin until much later in life (and have always preferred cushaw)! Note: Cushaws are often sold as decorative gourds, but they're entirely edible and taste kind of like pumpkin, but milder. They're orange-and-white striped when they're unripe, and green-and-white striped when they're ready to cook. (PREP TIME does not include cooking or draining the cushaw.)

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup cooked cushaw squash (drained well, pureed)
3 large eggs
1 pie shell, 9-inch (frozen or prepared)

Steps:

  • Sift together sugar and spices and add to cooked, pureed squash.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Add cream and mix well.
  • Bake in unbaked pie shell 10 minutes at 450, then 40 minutes at 350. (If you use a deep dish pie crust, add an additional 15-20 minutes to the last leg of cooking.).
  • Pie is done with the edges are set and brown but the middle still has just a bit of movement, like a custard. A knife or toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  • Cool completely on a rack before cutting or refrigerating. Can be eaten immediately, refrigerated for a few days, or frozen for later enjoyment.
  • COOKING THE SQUASH:.
  • Cushaw is easiest cooked by cutting it length-wise (this will take a little muscle and a serrated knife or small, clean hand saw), removing the inner pulp and seeds, and then baking the hull, skin still on, in a 350 degree oven on a lined baking sheet. It's done when the flesh is soft and the skin slides off easily - about 1 hour.
  • It can be cooked more quickly by slicing the gourd lengthwise, then cutting away the rind and cutting the cushaw flesh into chunks. Boil or steam until fork-tender.
  • Puree the cooked cushaw flesh, rind/skin removed, in a food processor or blender in small batches until it is smooth and lump-free. You can also use a potato masher for a more rustic feel, but the resulting pie will be more lumpy, rather than a smooth, custard-like texture.
  • Be sure to drain the cushaw thoroughly or the pie will end up too watery. I usually put the cooked, pureed pulp in a strainer, place the strainer over a bowl, and then cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • One cushaw will render enough pulp to make several pies, depending on the size. The leftovers freeze wonderfully in 1 cup portions and will save you from having to process it all again next time!
