Honeynut Squash

Honeynut squash is a small variety of winter squash. Think of it as a concentrated, single-serving version of butternut squash. Tan on the outside and vibrant orange on the inside, this hybrid was designed specifically by vegetable breeders and chefs to pack maximum flavor into a miniature package.

Intensely sweet with a velvety texture, it contains roughly two to three times more maltose than traditional butternut squash, giving it a rich, caramel-like sweetness.

Sold by the pound at farm stands. Typically available in September and October.

The rind is edible! It is exceptionally thin and completely tender when cooked. No peeling required.

To bake, slice in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place facedown on cookie sheet. Add 1/2 inch of water to pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until shells are soft and starting to collapse. Remove from shells, and fill with butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, seasoning or fillings.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place at around 50 degrees, but make sure they do not freeze. Under the best conditions, they should keep for 3-4 months. They get sweeter in storage as the starch converts to sugar.

To freeze, pour pureed squash into ice cube trays and freeze. Pop the frozen cubes into freezer Ziplock bags.
