WINTER SQUASH PUREE

I love squash. Today I am talking about Butternut. With a ton of health benefits, fiber and full of nutrients, it makes a great side to any main dish.
I always have winter squash in my kitchen however for this recipe I actually prefer to use frozen butternut from the store. This makes it super easy and no fuss. Feel free to use fresh squash if you prefer though. You will LOVE the uniqueness here and the citrus twist from the orange. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup low sodium vegetable broth or bone broth is great too
  • 2 12-oz pkgs frozen cooked butternut squash
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp grated orange rind secret ingredient…
  • 1 1/2 tsp maple syrup or raw honey
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place broth and squash in a large saucepan over medium. heat. Cover and cook for 15 mins. Add butter and remaining ingredients, stir until combined. SO GOOD, SO EASY.
