Notes
To make your own butternut squash puree, follow the recipe below.
1 large butternut squash, cut in half and seeded.
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Poke the squash halves with a fork a few times, then place the two halves on a baking tray and roast for about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool to the touch. Scrape out all of the flesh, and puree in a food processor until smooth.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
