"I made this recipe because it was the only hubbard squash recipe listed, and I had obtained one randomly. This tastes like a pumpkin pie, if I had to compare it to something. Very tasty! I used 1ts..." See morep of cinnamon and .5tsp nutmeg for the apple pie spice. I also used evaporated milk instead of cream, and it turned out fine. Mashing the squash was good enough, I avoid pureeing whenever possible. Nice to see good squash recipes listed. Thanks! "
