2 cups steamed Tahiti or butternut squash
1 can condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 unbaked pie crusts in 8 inch pie tins
Mix the squash, milk, eggs, sugar and spices and pour into pie crusts.
While the pie is baking, create a top crust from the following ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats, ground in coffee grinder slightly
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Blend the crust ingredients, and sprinkle over the pies after they have baked for 1/2 hour. Return them to the oven and bake for another half hour.
Let pies cool and eat with whipped cream. They are great without any topping too, if you want to eat them plain.
Walk tall, walk straight, and look the world right in the eye.
