We love winter squash - and we’ve finally discovered what might be the best of them all! Sweetmeat!
Ingredients: 1 sweetmeat squash Melted butter Salt Pepper Optional: Maple syrup Brown sugar Molasses Thyme Rosemary Nutmeg Cinnamon
Method: Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Use a sharp chef knife to split the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds. Score the flesh inside the squash. Baste the inside with a mixture of melted butter, salt, and pepper. You could mix in any of the optional ingredients above. Place in a baking pan, with 1-2” of water. Bake for at least 1 hour then check with a fork to see if done. The size of your squash will vary - so cooking times will also vary. Scoop out into a serving bowl. The flesh is also great for anything that you would use Pumpkin or Butternut squash for.
