Squash Chiffon Pie

1 envelope (1 T) unflavored gelatin

⅔ c brown sugar (packed)

½ t salt

½ t cinnamon

½ t nutmeg

½ t ginger

1 ¼ c mashed cooked squash (butternut) or pumpkin

3 egg yolks

½ c milk

3 egg whites

¼ t cream of tartar

½ c sugar

1 pre-prepared pie shell

Blend gelatin, brown sugar, salt, spices, squash, egg yolks, and milk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly. Promptly remove from heat once boiling and allow it to cool. Place in a pan of cool water (or in the snow!) until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Make a meringue of egg whites, and cream of tartar, then add sugar and beat until glossy - long time! Sugar dissolved. Fold the cooled mixture into the meringue. Pour into cooled crust. Chill for 2 hours or until set. Garnish with whipped cream.
