Hubbard Squash

 Hubbard Squash 

 Hubbard squash is a winter squash, famous for its nutty and sweet flavor. Hubbard squash is traditionally served in our New England families for Christmas supper. 

For this traditional Christmas Day treat you will need

1 Hubbard squash

11/2 cup of brown sugar

1 teaspoon  of kosher salt- Morton salt works fine as well

1 teaspoon  of ground black pepper

1 large Tablespoon of unsalted fresh sweet butter

Cut the squash into  one inch size cubes and cook the squash in a cast iron kettle  in as little water as possible. When the squash gets  entirely tender drain off  your squash any surplus of water and season it  with the brown sugar, , salt and pepper and rubb with the big wooden spoon 1 large tablespoon of unsalted fresh butter.  It can be beaten smooth in the blender as well- will get it easier. You may add some heavy warm cream if preferred or some warm milk if preferred. Makes a nice Christmas meal.
