Squash Pie

The yellow, hard-shelled squash makes almost as good pies as pumpkin, and it is often obtainable when pumpkin is not. Squash pie is made in the same way as pumpkin pie, with the addition of one tablespoon of melted butter. Squash is not so rich in oil as pumpkin and never makes quite so satisfactory a pie, but the squash will stew sufficiently in one hour or even a little less. Care must be taken that it is very dry before being removed from the fire.
