I found this recipe in a cook book that I bought from the local high school marching band booster club. This is a great way to cook butternut squash, and it's very easy to make. Use a large, wide round or oval crock pot for best results. Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash, about 3 to 4 pounds |
1 cup apple juice |
4 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed) |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Quarter the butternut squash lengthwise, cut stem off, and scoop out seeds. Pour the apple juice into the slow cooker.
2. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a cup or small bowl.
3. Put two of the squash quarters, cut side up, in the slow cooker. Drizzle with about half of the butter-brown sugar mixture.
4. Place the remaining two squash quarters on the first ones and drizzle with remaining butter-brown sugar mixture.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until squash is tender.
