Butternut Squash Puree

Butternut squash is in season and I can't stop buying them.  I wanted a different side when I was making steaks the other night and thought this was a great choice. I also thought about how good it would be for Thanksgiving instead of mashed potatoes!  If you need a break from mashed potatoes, try this side dish as an alternative.


Ingredients;
1 butternut squash
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp honey
dash of nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the squash in half, clean out the seeds and place on a roasting pan.  Rub the butter on the squash and place the remainder in the squash.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
 Roast until the squash is soft for about 40 minutes.  Scoop out the squash and place into the food processor
 Add the nutmeg and honey and blend in the food processor until it is smooth.
 Serve as a side or plate accordingly.
Thyme 2 taste....
