Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Preserves

The holidays are over but we still have a pumpkin and a butternut squash sitting on our kitchen counter, waiting for their turn to become something delicious (unless they’ve gone bad already).

I will most likely make them into sweet preserves, in which chunks of squash are cooked with  sugar until golden and tender. They are so good!

Endless possibilities for curious minds and palates.
