GRANDMA WILLIAMS' SQUASH PIE
Steps:
- Put the squash in a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, 20 minutes. Drain and press the squash with a spoon to remove any excess water.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Transfer the squash to a blender. Add the butter and flour and blend until pureed. Add the sugar, lemon extract and eggs and blend until smooth. Evenly divide the filling among the pie shells.
- Bake until the filling is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the pies cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
YELLOW SUMMER SQUASH CUSTARD PIE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a food processor, pulse the 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar to blend. Add the pieces of cold butter and shortening and pulse in four 2-second bursts, or until the mixture is blended but there are still pieces of fat the size of small peas.
- Add 3 tablespoons of ice water in a steady stream while the processor runs. Turn it off and continue adding small amounts of ice water while pulsing, until the dough forms large clumps and holds together when squeezed.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and lightly work it to make a cohesive dough . Don't overwork the dough. Pat it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the disk for about 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 400 F.
- On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough out to a circle about 2 inches larger in diameter than the pie plate. Fit the dough into the pie plate. Trim and flute as desired.
- Fit a sheet of foil over the bottom and sides of the crust and fill it with pie weights or dry beans.
- Bake the lined crust with the weights for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 F.
- Remove the weights and foil and return the crust to the oven. Bake for about 8 minutes longer. Remove the crust to a rack and set aside.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rinse the squash; pat dry. Slice the squash into 1/4-inch slices.
- Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water; bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water along with the sliced squash. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan; cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Drain the squash.
- Transfer the drained squash to the empty saucepan or to a bowl and mash. Carefully drain off any excess water. For a very smooth filling, process the squash in a blender or food processor.
- In a large bowl, whisk the two eggs and egg yolk. Whisk in the 3/4 cup of sugar, heavy cream , melted butter , vanilla, 2 tablespoons of flour, and the nutmeg, if using. Add the mashed squash and blend thoroughly.
- Pour the squash mixture into the baked pie shell and place it on a baking sheet. (If you happen to have some leftover filling, put it in buttered ramekins and bake it alongside the pie. If desired, lightly sprinkle grated nutmeg over the filling.
- Bake the pie at 375 F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and firm. When the crust is browned, place a pie shield over the edge to avoid over-browning.

YELLOW SQUASH PIE
My mom made this pie all the time growing up. It is really great for kids and those who don't like squash too much. It really is a pie- it's sweet and yummy. People are surprised when you tell them that it has squash in it. It can be frozen for the winter as well and is a great way to have yummy squash all year long. I even like eating them frozen- like ice cream.

GRANDMA WILLIAMS'S SQUASH PIE
"This year my grandma and I clocked more laughs and tears on the phone than ever. If I had it my way, our chats would happen in person while eating homemade pie or cake, with plenty of grandma hugs for dessert. Her empowering stories about growing up in Fayetteville, NC, make me dream bigger and run toward the work. She still won't video-chat, but this year she went old school by writing and mailing a letter to me. (Thank you, US Postal Service workers!) I wish I could bake one of her famous pies for all of you, especially this lemony custard-like squash pie. Grandma breaks all the rules when she makes it and everything comes out fine!" says Sunny.

SQUASH PIE
A wonderful use for fall squash. If there is too much filling, surplus may be baked in custard cups set in pan of hot water. Do not bake together with the pie, because the steam from the water will make the pie soggy.

Another recipe from the farm newspaper in the 80's. This is a good way to use up those extra squash! Since the directions were sparse, I added my own. Note: For whatever reason, I couldn't get the 2 pie shells to show up.

SQUASHED LEMON COCONUT PIE
Great way to use up that extra squash...and in a dessert! If you don't tell them it's there, they'll never know. You can use zucchini or yellow squash for this pie. If using zucchini and truly want to disguise it, peel off the green before shredding it.
