Yield 1.5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

450 grams (4 cups) peeled and diced winter squash, such as butternut or pumpkin
170 grams (3/4 cup) sugar
Large pinch kosher salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the squash, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Simmer over medium heat until squash is tender and most liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. 2. Remove pot from heat; using a potato masher or fork, smash the squash until completely broken up. Stir in lemon juice. Return pot to heat and simmer until most liquid has evaporated and squash develops a pasty consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
