Thanks for providing a wonderful recipe - I love having the basic recipes right at my fingertips. I used my immersion blender and the puree came out like fluffy silk. Three cheers for squash!

Once I substituted coconut oil for the butter and it was good, different, but still really good. I saw on your FB awhile back that you oil your winter squash to help them last longer. I meant to ask then, but forgot and can't find the post, what oil do you use on them? And what is the purpose of oiling them? I have a guess about the oil adding another protective barrier, besides the skin, so that the squash is less exposed to the air, but if there is something more, or I'm entirely wrong, I would love to know. I love sharing your recipes with friends and family, knowing they will be more nourished if they make them. Thank you. I’ve made this several times and Love it!

I'm normally a big sugar fiend so I was surprised when this tasted sweet by itself. I'm not sure it'd be a dessert for us but it made a very tasty side dish.

I would just scoop it out in a larger bowl and mix everything up with a fork or a potato masher. I think the fp may be a bit overkill for the task at hand. The cooked squash should be quite soft as is. About the food processor and the heat inside the plastic bowl, the clean up, etc…

My favorite use for butternut squash though is in pie. No crust, just eggs, coconut milk, squash and a splash of maple syrup. Yum. Pie is also the only way I can get my preschooler to eat winter squashes. I sometimes use Frontier’s Apple pie spice mix or their pumpkin pie spice mix on baked squashes.

Even when something is so simple, it's always nice to get ideas, because sometimes it's the simple ideas that go right over our heads, in a "why have I never tried that?" kind of way.

Mine is one of the pricey-er Kitchenaid ones and very sturdy (so it's not like it's flexible plastic and therefore chock-full of plasticizers), but I still get nervous, because the bowl does have a "chemical-ish" smell to it (it's still kind of new). Sigh. I know I could always use a blender that has a glass pitcher, but I like the idea of having a food processor for certain things. I realize you can't be afraid of everything, and that this is a drop in the bucket compared to people that drink out of plastic bottles everyday. It still doesn't sit well with me though, and I wonder how I'll feel about it someday when I'm pregnant (when things like this are even more important). Just wondering if I'm the only one that worries about this. Anyone else get nervous putting hot-ish things in their food processor because of the synthetic material the bowl is made out of?

I can't wait to try this recipe! I am curious about your comments in the headnotes about heirloom tomatoes. How do you store them for months without them spoiling? I thought tomatoes were not supposed to go in cold storage because it kills the flavor, so I did not stock up and am desperately missing them now!!! Any tips on how I can enjoy them into these dark wintery days would be greatly appreciated! I just fell in love with butternut squash this fall–it is so versatile! I can’t wait to try this recipe!

Did you get your tin and recipe cards yet?  I hope so!  You’ve GOT to try the molasses custard in there.  It’s so luscious.
