Ingredients
- 1 winter squash, medium size
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste 
 
Use any variety of winter squash you prefer; since it isn't necessary to peel the uncooked squash,
this is a good way to use the lumpy, hard-to-peel varieties.
 
Directions
  • Cut squash in half and remove seeds and any "strings" around the seeds.
  • Microwave,
    cut side down, until easily pieced with a fork, about 10 minutes. (or bake in a 400 oven for 30 -
    45 minutes). Time may vary, depending on type of squash used.
  • Scrape cooked pulp from rind
    and mash with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a small microwavable bowl, mix
    butter, honey (and lemon juice if using). Heat until butter melts, about 30 seconds. Pour over squash
    and serve warm.
