OLD-FASHIONED CUSHAW PIE
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.

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.

EASY FRUIT HAND PIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Separate the biscuits. Dust a work surface with flour and roll each biscuit round into a 6-inch circle (about 1/16 inch thickness). Place 2 teaspoons cream cheese and 2 teaspoons jam on one side of the dough round. Brush the outer edge of the pastry round with egg wash. Fold one side over the filling and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape as they bake. Repeat the process with the remaining biscuits. Bake until golden brown, about 16 minutes. Serve warm.
CUSHAW PIE
This is my very favorite pie. It is similar to a pumpkin pie, but much better to me. A cushaw is a squash. It's white with green stripes on it, a bulb at one end with a long neck.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare squash by cutting off rind and seeding it. Cut into small chunks.
- 2. Cook enough cushaw to equal 2 cups. This can be done by putting a small amount of water in a pan and slowly cooking it so it won't stick. Another way is to put cushaw in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave until soft.
- 3. Put cooked cushaw in mixing bowl.
- 4. Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended well.
- 5. Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees until done, about 45 minutes or until center doesn't jiggle.
- 6. Take raw cushaw and freeze. Use another day.
CUSHAW PIE
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.)

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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Mix apple pie filling, 3 tablespoons cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl until well combined. Lightly whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
- Gently unroll each pie crust and cut into quarters; you will have 8 pieces of dough. Put 4 pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling onto the centers of those pieces, leaving 1/4 inch around the edges uncovered. Cover each filled quarter with a top crust and press the edges together to seal. Roll the edges up and over, and crimp them with a fork. Cut 3 slits for ventilation in the top of each pie with a sharp knife.
- Brush egg wash over top crusts and all edges. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Cool on rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
