Butternuts are really thin-skinned.

Can you tell never used Butternut, I didn't know that. I have used other squash

You win the 'Alys' Hero(ine) of the Month Award' for holding my hand as I worked my way to this meeting. Unfortunately it won't buy you much (anything) in the way of sex toys.

Out of curiosity, Alys, have you made this with other squashes besides butternut?

Hey every one, sorry I am late.
Catching up.

Just got to say yeah for Bambi burgers. My families favorite, very lean and very good. And cheap too. I pay $12 for about 70-80 lbs.

Yep, I've used acorn and a pie pumpkin (at different times) and they both worked great! With the pumpkin I saved the seeds and made some fresh roasted pumpkin seeds to top off the soup.

So logically the next step is to pop the tray into the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. At thirty minutes take the squash out, stir and put back for another 30 minutes. (Repeat as often as necessary, we'll talk about that in a bit.)



If you’re impatient like I am, feel free to put it on convection bake. All that we are trying to achieve here is to create the roasted flavor, texture is not important, because the squash will cook even longer in the chicken stock before being pureed. But if they get mushy, that’s not a problem either.

Try pureeing the seeds some time. They are kind of like tahini.
