Butternut squash dessert
I found a nice butternut squash the week before. My original aim was to make a hearty soup, but I decided in the last moment to make a dessert with it.
here is the recipe:
- peel the coating and cut in pieces (mine were around 1-5 cm width and 7 cm length)
- add 2 cups of sugar, mix
- add 1.5 tsp salt and 6 cups of water
- bring to a rolling boil and simmer at medium heat for 40 min
- add 1.5 tbs lemon juice and boil for another 5 min
- take the squash bits on an oven pot, add 2 cups of the liquid*, sprinkle with chopped nuts (I have used hazelnut) (optional)
- bake at 350F pre-heated oven for 20 min**
- enjoy! (top with a scoop of ice cream if you wish and tell me this was not a good idea 🙂 )
*I have had around 1 liters of the liquid, which is yummy. Drink it as it is, or use less water
**You can bake longer to thicken the liquid
Sourdough
My sourdough today was kind of sticky dough and as a result did not keep it shape well. But there was oven spring and it looks great 🙂
