Personal Notes:
You can substitute finely mashed acorn or butternut squash for a slightly milder but just as delicious dessert. Use a food mill to mash the squash and remove any hard fibers.

To prevent spills on the way to the oven, it may be helpful to place the pie pan on oven rack half full then carefully at the remaining filling mixture. Slide the oven rack in slowly.
