INSTRUCTIONS
Line a 9 or 10-inch pie dish with the pate brisee. Transfer to refrigerator to chill; freeze any remaining pastry. Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Put a rack in a saucepan, and add water to within 1 inch of the rack. Set the squash halves on the rack, cut-sides up, and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan, and steam the squash for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is fork-tender. If necessary, add more boiling water to the pan as it evaporates. Remove the squash from the pan. When the flesh is cool enough to handle, scoop it out with a spoon; discard the shells. Using a food processor, blender, or food mill, or by pressing it through a metal sieve, pure the squash. You should have about 2-1/2 cups. Put the puree in a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, beat the cinnamon, ginger, salt, honey, and molasses into it. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream, and blend into the squash mixture. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the pie dish on a baking sheet, and pour in filling until it's 3/4 full. Pour the remaining filling into a small pitcher. Put the pie on the center shelf of the oven, and pour in reserved filling until full. (This method avoids the possibility of spilling the pie while you are transferring it to the oven.) Bake the pie for 10 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 325 degrees, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the center of the filling is firm when the baking sheet is moved gently back and forth. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Makes one 9 or 10-inch pie.
