Butternut Squash Puree

This is another fabulous recipe off the Pioneer Woman's website. I love squash but getting my family to eat it is not so easy. I usually end up with it all to myself....I really don't mind- especially with this stuff. It is creamy deliciousness!!! -Kristin

2-4 T. maple syrup
Dash of salt

• Slice the squash lengthwise and clean out the seeds.
• Place face down on a baking sheet and pour a cup of water on it.
