+Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Pie
+
+Pie Ingredients:
+       2 ---  eggs, plus yolk of third egg
+     1/2 cup  dark brown sugar, packed
+     1/3 cup  sugar, white
+     1/2 tsp  salt
+       2 tsp  cinnamon, ground
+       1 tsp  ginger, ground
+     1/4 tsp  nutmeg, ground
+     1/4 tsp  cloves, ground
+     1/8 tsp  cardamon, ground
+     1/2 tsp  lemon zest
+       2 cup  squash purée (sugar pumpkin or butternut squash)
+   1 1/2 cup  heavy cream (or 1x 12oz can of evaporated milk)
+       1 ---  pie crust
+
+Purée Ingredients:
+       1 ---  medium-small sugar pumpkin or large butternut squash
+
+
+Pumpkin Purée:
+   1) Preheat oven to 350 F.
+   2) Cut a medium-small sugar pumpkin or large butternut squash in half.
+   3) Scrape out insides and set seeds aside.
+   4) Line baking sheet with Silpat or foil. Place squash halves cut side
+      down on lined baking sheets.
+   5) Bake until fork can easily pierce the squash's skin (about 60 - 90
+      minutes).
+   6) Remove from oven and let cool.
+   7) Scoop out the pulp and mash with potatoe masher.
+   
+   *  Makes about 4 cups of squash purée.
+
+
+Directions:
+   1) Preheat oven to 425 F.
+   2) Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the brown sugar, white sugar, salt,
+      cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, cardamom, and lemon zest.
+   3) Mix in the pumpkin purée. Stir in the cream. Beat together until
+       everything is well mixed.  Pour the filling into an uncooked pie shell.
+   4) Bake at a high temperature of 425°F for 15 minutes.
+   5) Lower the temperature to 350°F. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes more, or until
+      a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 
+   6) Cool the pumpkin pie on a wire rack for 2 hours. 
+
+
+Notes:
+    * About half-way through the baking, placing foil around the edges of the
+      crust or using a pie protector will keep the crust from browning too
+      much.
