This recipe comes from John Josselyn, an early traveler to New England. Stewed pumpkin was common, everyday fare—a standing dish —particularly in the fall and winter.
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked squash or pumpkin, mashed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 to 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons of ground ginger (or any combination of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and/or pepper, to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Place the squash, butter, vinegar, and spices in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and heat until all of the ingredients are well-combined and hot. Adjust the seasonings to your liking and serve.
