Pumpkin or Squash Pie

This is a modification of the No-Fault Pumpkin Pie in the Moosewood Cookbook. The molasses gives great flavor and makes it darker; if you want that bright orange use honey in its place. Piecrust For One Pie

3 cups cooked pureed squash or sweet potato

3 Tbsp. honey

2 Tbsp. molasses

½ tsp. ground cloves or allspice

1½ to 2 tsp. cinnamon

1½ to 2 tsp. powdered ginger

½ tsp. salt

2 beaten eggs

1½ cups milk or soymilk

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
