Ingredients

• 4 lb. (2 kg). butternut squash
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) whipping cream
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. With a large, sharp knife, cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop seeds out with a spoon and place both halves, cut side down, in a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet with sides. Pour in just enough water to cover the pan about 1/8 inch (0.25 cm) deep. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the squash halves over and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until very tender when poked with a fork. Remove from the oven.
3. With a spoon, scoop squash flesh out into a bowl. If you have a food processor, puree squash with butter, whipping cream, maple syrup and salt until very smooth and creamy. (You may have to do this in two batches.) You can also beat butter, cream, maple syrup and salt into squash with an electric mixer, if you prefer. The squash won't come out quite as velvety smooth, but it will still be delicious.
