1 1/2 lbs butternut squash
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp melted butter
Cut squash in half, scrape out seeds and fiberous strings. Cut into 2″ pieces.
Steam, which is the preferred method, for 30 minutes . If boiling squash, then cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
Cool slightly, and remove the skin from the pieces. Spoon flesh into blender and add remaining ingredients. Process until smooth. Serve with meat or game birds. Serves 4.
