Squash Puree

Cowboy put this recipe out for me to make like three weeks ago.  I kept putting it off because I didn't remember it, and it just didn't look tasty.  Plus, cutting a butternut squash in half is hard. But silly me, it was wonderful.

In fact, it was like eating sunshine.

Squash Puree

1/2 butternut squash
4 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. milk
1/8 tsp. salt

Halve a butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Set one half aside for another purpose. Place one half cut-side down in a microwavable dish. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave 8-10 minutes or until done. Cool slightly. Scoop flesh out of peel and combine in a blender with the remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth.
