CUSHAW PIE - you can substitute butternut squash, sweet potatoes or pumpkin for cushaw
2 to 3 cups cooked cushaw, mashed
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
5 beaten eggs
3 tbsp. margarine
2 tbsp. dark molasses
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 ¼ tsp. salt
1 ¼ cup milk
After cleaning, cut the unpeeled cushaw into smaller pieces. Now you can either boil these or bake in an oven at 350º until tender. After cooling a bit, remove the meat from the skin and mash. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth consistency.
Pour mixture into a piecrust and bake in oven at 450º for 10 minutes, then crack open the oven door to cool it down. When peen temperature reaches 350º, shut door and continue baking at 350º until a knife or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 30-45 minutes depending on pie size. Remove pie and let it cool on rack. Place in refrigerator for several hours to set.
