Winter Squash Recipe

Winter squash is good prepared in the same way as the mashed

parsnips--that is, plain boiled and then mashed, but I prefer the

Hubbard variety, cut in large squares and baked in the shell--without

being peeled. Season before putting on the oven shelf, spread with a

little butter and add a slight sprinkling of granulated sugar. This

will take about three-quarters of an hour to bake, and should be a light

brown over the top. The child may have some difficulty in cutting a

Hubbard squash, as it is so hard, but she can prepare it after it has

been cut for her.
