It's the fall time of year. Try something a little different! Squash of all varieties is in season - and we often pass it by in the supermarket. My local market put butternut squash up for fifty-nine cents a pound, and I went and got one. Here is the recipe I used, it came out a bit sweet for my taste, but it was certainly something different from the usual menu. Please feel free to put up your recipes for different squash dishes here.

Candied Butternut Squash
A delicious way to prepare winter squash.
1 large butternut squash, quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Scoop seeds out of butternut squash. Arrange butternut squash pieces, cut-side down, in a large baking dish. Pour hot water in the baking dish to a depth of about 1/4-inch. Bake butternut squash at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender. Cool squash; peel.
Cut squash into 1/2-inch slices and place in a 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Pour butter and honey over squash, then sprinkle with pecans and cinnamon. Return to oven and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until butternut squash is glazed and hot.
