Your first inclination when you see butternut squash in your box may be to roast it or turn it into soup. I like the idea of making these preserves, adapted from a recipe in the New York Times. Simple, delicious and starts to make your kitchen smell like fall.
This recipe is from Dianna Tribble of Tribble Farms. She sells her honey at the Roswell Farmers & Artisans Market on Thursday nights.
This New York Times recipe would work with either your butternut or your delicata. Did I mention I put delicata into a risotto this week? We had a butternut squash risotto recipe to test and I decided to save myself the work of peeling a butternut by using last week’s delicata. A good scrub, remove the seeds and the squash is ready to cook. Roasted with a little brown sugar, then stirred into a classic risotto with some cream – it was the perfect foil for sweet fresh Georgia seafood.
But I digress. Try this salad where the dates bring out the sweetness of the squash. And no cooking!
Were you excited to see kale in your box? I’m ready for this dish that combines kale with butternut squash and pasta. Just says “comfort food” to me. No shallot? Leave it out or substitute some onion or garlic. The pasta cooks in the same skillet – easy cleanup.

Did you see this recipe from “The Vegetarian Grill” by Andrea Chesman?
From Mark Bittman: “This is your go-to recipe for everyday winter squash; it will work with any variety, but I usually turn to butternut because it’s so much easier to deal with than all the others. Once you peel and cut the squash, you braise it in a small amount of liquid, then boil off the remaining moisture to glaze it. Other vegetables you can use: any winter squash (except spaghetti), though they will all be more difficult to cut and peel than butternut.” This recipe is from his “How to Cook Everything” (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition).
This one comes from Woman’s Day. A nice dish for a dinner party. Pretty presentation.
