Notes
To use fresh butternut squash, first make a puree: Rinse and poke holes in a large butternut squash. Wrap it loosely in paper towels. Then microwave it for about 8 minutes. Stop and test to see if a knife slides smoothly into it. If not, microwave for another 2 minutes. Let it cool, slice and scoop. Add the meat to a blender and blend into a puree adding enough water until you have a puree like in my picture. Store refrigerated for three days.
