Recipe: Baked Butternut Squash

This is the recipe for the squash I made for my x-mas dinner. It was really sweet and delicious. The recipe serves 8.

1. Split butternut squash and de-seed. Put in glass pan with 1/4 inch water, double cover with saran and microwave for 20 minutes. It is done when it is fork tender.

2. Drain and cool. Scrape off skin.

3. Mash with 1/4 lb of butter and salt and cinnamon to taste. Put in buttered oven dish.

4. Drizzle with a bit of melted butter (I skipped this) and sprinkle with brown sugar or maple syrup (I used maple syrup and it doesn't need much at all - it is naturally sweet).

5. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes until crust forms.
