Comments

If you decide to make your own squash puree, I highly recommend roasted and puréed butternut squash. It will make the best pumpkin pie you have ever tasted.

Roasted and puréed butternut squash is so much tastier than canned pumpkin!

Do Ahead Tip: Roast and purée the butternut squash a day before making the pie.
