Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I peeled and cut up a butternut squash the other day and put the pieces in a pan of water and baked it. It looks like pumpkin. I think I will try using that instead, come Thanksgiving. Butternut squash is easier to peel, cut up, etc. than pumpkin from what I've heard. Marla spice question this may sound silly as i'm 9 1/2 months on but was thinking of making the pumpkin pie filling recipe- do i have to introduce each spice first before making this - i.e. cinn & nutmeg (leaving out cloves)???also for 2 cups of pumpkin -obviously not canned- where can we get this? only by scraping one out???? if so ,not I - LOL!!eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Eileen, do i have to introduce each spice first before making this - i.e. cinn & nutmeg (leaving out cloves)??? That's really a judgement call. You know you best and how sensitive you are. also for 2 cups of pumpkin -obviously not canned- where can we get this? only by scraping one out???? if so ,not I - LOL!! You can sub butternut squash for pumpkin. My granny's "pumpkin" pies were always made from butternut squash. Everytime I make "pumpkin" pie, it's butternut squash. I have found the easiest way for me to cook a butternut is to poke some holes in it with a fork and stick the whole thing in the oven on a cookie sheet at 350*F for about 45 minutes. Then take it out, let it cool, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. Then I scoop out the squash. At first I was trying to cut it in half and scoop the seeds before putting it in the oven but those things are hard to cut in half. I always had to get to do it but he's not always around. This way I can do it myself. Take care, Kim H., husband, , CD 1999, SCD 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already told you -- you open the pumpkin, scrape out all the strings and seeds. Cake. Cut up. Remove skim from pumpkin meat or vice versa. Mash or whizz up with a hand blender. Add spices, honey, eggs, yogurt. Pour into well greased pie pan and bake. Yummy. Yes, you should intro the spices one at a time. Or you can do like I did: intro them all at once, because I didn't think about it prior to my first SCD Christmas, and then pay for it.... — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
