I have a love-hate relationship with butternut squash. I love the way it tastes...sweet and smooth with just a hint of veggie flavor. I love it when it is mixed up with other things, like honey and herbs and shallots, especially when I get that whole sweet and salty thing going on. I love it when someone else makes it for me. And that is because I do NOT love the peeling cutting up of it that is part of so many butternut recipes, because butternut squash is hard as a rock. And I do not love the paying of approximately one million dollars for buying already cut-up butternut squash in the supermarket. Which is why I madly love this particular recipe for honeyed butternut squash puree. Read on!
