Butternut Squash Recipes

[tortoise]

I have 50# or more of butternut squash to use or preserve. I have tried keeping butternut in my basement but it was the first winter squash to go soft. I'm hoping to find other ways to use it up. What's your favorite butternut recipe?

it was the first winter squash to go soft.

Another good reason to have a pig or two, lol.

I love to make a vegetarian chili out of squash and we love 'em roasted too. Fifty lbs is a lot!

My butternuts produced like crazy in 2020. I canned some but, mostly put them in a slotted basket container, which I sat on the steps going to upstairs. Mine held up until late summer of 2021! May have been a little too much humidity, or too cold I your basement....you get some temps there! Rarely do I make things from them, shamefully! I like them baked or saute in butter. Hear soup is good! LOL not tried. But saved a lot of seed and will do more with them 2022. So...will be waiting for responses.

Odd that FEM suggests pigs -- who love them, by the way! -- because the two vines I had in 2020 garden gave me almost 150# of squash. But, those vines had sprouted in the old pig pen, from some thrown to them. Talk about recycling. Also had several tomato plants from same source. 😁

Peel the squash , cube it up , put in a bowl cover with olive oil , I add cinnamon , nutmeg , all spice a pinch of brown sugar , or add sorghum with the oil, bake at 350 until soft , then enjoy !!!

It is! Especially with homemade bread and butter☺️ (Sorry I know you can’t with the bread)

I'll just hide the bread from DH, lol. Sometimes ya just gotta break the rules and have a carb!

I just eat butternut baked with a bit of butter and brown sugar. I use other squash for recipes. I've thought of making a pie with it. It's just as good as pumpkin for that I think.
