Makes: 8 Servings

Ingredients:
- Pastry for Single Crust Pie (9 in)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 1/3 Cups of Half and Half Cream
- 1 Cup of Mashed Cooked Butternut Squash
- 1 Cup of Mashed Cooked Sweet Potato (about 1 medium)
- 1/2 Cup of Honey

2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, squash, sweet potato, honey, flour, salt and spices. Pour into pastry shell.

3. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack; serve within 2 hours or refrigerate and serve cold. If desired, top with whipped cream.
