Buttercup Squash

Buttercup Squash is a Winter Squash - This stocky squash is 6 to 8 inches in diameter, averaging 2 to 4 pounds.

• Its popularity stems from its sweet and creamy orange flesh.

• Its shortcoming is that it tends to be a bit dry.

Baking or steaming can solve this problem; the dry flesh becomes smooth and tastes similar to a mixture of honey, roasted chestnuts, and sweet potato. Even more than baking, steaming softens the flesh and creates a thick puree.
