Brown sugar and butter blazed over winter squash – absolutely delicious.
Every year I look forward to the winter squash varieties with my favorite being the butternut because of its smooth texture. However this recipe will work just as well for almost any winter squash.

Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash or buttercup squash (about 2½ pounds)
- 2 ½ tablespoons butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

- Cut squash in half length wise and remove the seeds. Place squash on baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until flesh is tender. ( a fork inserted in the skin should go easily in)
- In a small sauce pan melt the butter and mix in the brown sugar.
- Flip squash to cut side up and using a pastry brush generously coat with the brown sugar butter mixture.
- Switch the oven to broil, and broil until squash starts to brown and a glaze is formed.
