To me, cooking is an art, and I love trying new recipes. This one dresses up baked butternut squash, sweet potatoes and apples with citrus and spices. Ingredients:
6 cups water |
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces |
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup orange juice |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 small apples, peeled and sliced |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add squash and return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain. Place squash and sweet potatoes in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, butter, orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over squash and potatoes.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover; stir in apples. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with walnuts. Yield: 10 servings.
