Butternut Squash?

1234Badger · Nov 16, 2012

I'm off to my Mothers tomorrow as she has a glut of butternut squash.
Has anyone out there got any suggestions as to what I could do with these things? Me, I'm thinking beer. Must be the same as pumpkin.
Any recipe ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers...

Butternut squash soup, risotto.........beer :hmm: :hmm:

Although Butternut squash have IMHO a much better flavour than a pumkin, so substituting butternut for pumkin would probably make sense.

A little known fact:

Butternut squash is much better in recipes than the "halloween pumpkin" type squash.

Pumpkin wine, just go for it :thumb:
