Here’s a sweet and savory pie recipe I got years ago from my mom’s cousin, Birdie Jane. It’s a different take on the usual savory yellow squash recipes, and makes a pretty yummy pie!
No one will suspect that there's squash in the pie unless you tell them! As a kid, squash and turnip greens were at the top of my least favorite foods list. I’ve since come around and love squash – and tolerate turnip greens!

Ingredients

Here’s how to make it:
- Cook the squash in a little water until mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain squash, then mash with potato masher to make small chunks.
- Add sugar, milk, egg, salt, flour and lemon flavoring. Pour into unbaked pie shell.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
