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?

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. 😁

Looked up the 3 sister stew...thanks NH! That sounds quite good. We think of these squash as something to add sweetener but, they are quit good as a savory.

I cooked a goat roast last week and while slicing, tried a few different herbs and seasonings, a bite at a time. One I really liked was sage! Now might have a new sausage going on.

“This has nothing to do with butternuts”
AGH sausage and butternut squash are delicious together!

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.

Got any AGH to mix into that sausage?

Doubt it...think all I have is one more belly slab. Thought bacon but, could grind some.

Milked this morning. First time in a long time! But tasted good, even warm. Time to work up some cheese for winter. I'll have plenty of milk. A litter of AGH close by for sale...bout 4 months old. On fence with winter coming but, it's sure tempting!

This has nothing to do with butternuts! Ooops.

Ive had commercially made butternut squash ravioli. It was very good.

Trader Joe's has good things for their store brand.

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!
