Date: September 10, 2008 12:47AM Our farm share has given us acorn squash for the past few weeks, and finally i braved a recipe. i was very sceptical (as was my hubby), but i made it and served it to non-raw friends and people took seconds. i only had dates and figs, otherwise i would have used dates in the crust, but the crust was really nice. i didn't buy any ingredients, but made the pie based on what i needed to use.
--Filling-- 1 acorn squash -peeled and cored 10-12 medjool dates sprinkle of desired spices- or none- has an apply flavor, very nice plain. i added a slight touch of ginger and cinnamon. cloves, allspice and nutmeg would be nice --Crust-- 3/4 cup figs 1/4 cup walnuts handful hazelnuts handful dehydrated coconut process squash and dates in juicer or food processor until applesauce textured (twice through my Omega) then mix in spices as desired. set aside. process all crust ingredients until they make a dough ball. press into a pie-pan and spread evenly. pour filling in and refridgerate. freeze for 20-30 minutes before serving to harden the crust and allow for proper presentation. peace- Re: Winter Squash Pie

Date: September 13, 2008 02:01AM i peeled the outer lumps first, then cut the squash along the creases, and then peeled the creases.
cut off top and little tail, peeled what came off easily, cut, and peeled again. labor intensive, but how often do we make pies? easier than pie crust. Re: Winter Squash Pie
