How to Make Winter Squash Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the squash: Peel, seed, and cube 1.5 lbs of fresh pumpkin or butternut squash.
  3. Steam the squash: Steam the cubed squash for 1 hour, or until tender.
  4. Mash the squash: Drain the steamed squash in a colander, mashing periodically until mostly smooth. (This can also be done while still slightly warm).
  5. Freeze for later use (optional): This mashed squash freezes well in zip-top bags for future use.
  6. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, rum (if using), and vanilla extract.
  7. Add dry ingredients: Add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt to the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
  8. Combine squash and wet ingredients: Gently fold in the mashed squash until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  9. Pour into pie crust: Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  10. Bake: Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 70-75 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  11. Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
