Total time: 20 min Serves: about 5 slices of toast Suitable for: an exciting study snack
Ingredients
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Method
Steam the butternut squash until tender, takes only about 15 minutes. No steamer? Not to worry. I learned this from Nigel Slater. Simply fill a deep pot with a bit of water, put a large colander on it, make sure it's not touching the water, so not much water in the pot at all. Put your squash in there and cover with a lid. Genius, no? <3 Nigel.
Steam until it's tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Wait for it to cool, and mash with a fork. Add all the other ingredients and mix until well combined.
And you're done. Eat with your toast and butter or your scones or whatever else you like to eat with jam. Put it in a pretty jar and give it to people as gifts. Gastronomic gifts are always great. They're thoughtful, meaningful, cheap and delicious.
