IngredientsPreparation
  • 1 whole squash [any variety]
  • Brown sugar or maple syrup
  • Butter
  • Rinse squash.
  • Cut 4 to 5 slits through the skin, using the tip of a sharp knife.
  • Transfer squash into microwave-oven, onto a rack or over an upside-down saucer.
  • Microwave on 'HIGH' for 6 to 10 minutes, according to the size of the squash.
  • Using a towel as it is really hot, remove squash from oven.
  • Leave squash to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Half squash; remove seeds and membranes [the use of a spoon makes it easier].
  • Then, either mash meat with brown sugar or maple syrup and butter right inside each squash half or into a long dish; cover each squash halves or dish with wax paper.
  • Just before serving, reheat on 'HIGH' for 5 to 6 minutes.
