Remember all those big pumpkins I have? Well I gave up on them, not good for pies, but I have equally as many Hubbards, made pies out of those and oh my Goodness, better than any pumpkin I ever had!!! Canning the rest for great pies this Holiday season.

I forgot that I asked this question. Thanks you so much ladies for the recipes. I just bought two herloom pumpkins of some sort. We picked them ourselves at a farm around the corner. I'm thinking I'm gonna make a pumpkin pie.
Hey MeadowLark you said you never heard of a squash being delightful. Well there is something about a pumpkin that I love, not sure what it is. Orange is my fav color may be thats it.
Blessed Be

sqrl- Did you use pie pumpkins or the jack o'lantern kind? I make my own pumpkin puree every year using the small, sweet pie pumpkins. I just cut them in half, oil the skins and roast them in the oven (350 degrees) for an hour. Then I use the flesh just like the canned in my pie recipe. Pumpkin pie is my nephew's favorite and we have started a tradition of getting them made together. If only my own kids would want to learn! Alack and alas.
Here's the reecipe I use. It's from Fannie Farmer.
Pumpkin Pie
1 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin, mashed
1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp ground ginger 2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp cloves
Preheat the oven to 425. Combine all of the above ingredients in a large bowl and beat until smooth. I use a wooden spoon. Pour into a prepared 9-inch pie crust. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then lower oven to 300 and bake for about 45 minutes, or until firm. ( The filling will firm up more as it cools)
Hope this helps!

I tried to make pumpkin pie fresh not out of a can last year and it didn't work. I love pumpkins and all their relatives, couls someone post their pumpkin or hubbard pie recipes? I would love to give it a try again this year, any reason to bring delightful squashes into my house.
Blessed Be

I love hubbard squash too, but havn't ever grown it myself..maybe next year.
I had one big old pumpkin...about the size of a basketball now..that hid behind a bunch of leaves and grew THROUGH the fence..so half is on each side! It is field fence with about 2"X 3" holes and it sure looks funny. I will have to take a picture before I cut it to get it off the fence and give it to the goats for a treat. I have just let it grow to see how big it will get like that..it is orange now and the vine has died so I should pick it soon I guess.
I have had someone give me the blue hubbard squash and it was wonderful..made great pie, great to eat with butter (baked) and canned up well too. I wish someone I knew had grown them this year! It sounds wonderful today!!

I wonder if these Hubbards would grow in Kansas? They sound really good.

Mine are not bumpy just a funny almost pear shape.I have found that the hubbard doesn't need the "cooking down" that the pumpkins needed, they are very flavorful without. They are not stringy. I just steamed them, then removed the skin smashed em and pureed, I froze all of it last time and today I thawed some already. After being frozen I just strained a little water off and made a pie,delicious! The soup in a shell idea is great I'll have to try that. I am going to puree mine and can it. But would love your recipe for soup!!

Larenya- Are the blue/grey hubbards as "warty" as the orange? We always have people ask what the bumpy pumpkins are and when I answer "hubbard squash" they usually make a face or say "E_Y_U_K!"
Glad to know I am not alone in the joys of this lovely vegetable!
Do you think they are better for taste, consistency or meatier than watery pumpkin? Maybe all three? I know they make a very good savory soup that we sometimes serve in the shell like a big soup tureen and people are surprised it is so good.When you can it are you cooking it down or just canning chunks for later?

what in the world is a hubbard?
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |

Wish I could send you a pic of the pumpkin/hubbard/banana squash I have in my front yard right now! Bumper crop doesn't cover it. Got a hubbard pie in oven for hubby right now, he loved yesterdays, he ate the whole thing with a little help and taking some for his lunch. First pie I made out of it I used a brown sugar recipe, didn't like it near as well as just subbing hubbard for pumpkin.

Arlene,
I accidently discovered the pie pleasure of Blue Hubbards a few years ago when a discarded seed in the compost pile grew to produce one vine hosting 19 of them!!! Had to do somethin' with all that orange flesh!
I have never gone back...it's Hubbard pies for me!! They are so cool looking sitting on the porch, too.
