Ingredients

  • 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled*
  • 1/2 cup apple cider*
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 tsp. dried sage

How to Make It

Step 1

Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. Cut each half into 4 wedges; cut wedges into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Stir together squash, 1/2 cup apple cider, and next 5 ingredients in a 12-inch, deep-sided, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, gently stirring occasionally, 25 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 minutes or until liquid thickens and squash is tender. Gently stir in pecans and sage until well combined.

Step 3

*3 lb. sweet potatoes may be substituted for butternut squash and 1/2 cup apple juice may be substituted for apple cider.

Tried this twice now and find that I add just a little bit more brown sugar and it comes out just perfect.

Needs additions. I used brown sugar instead of regular sugar. It worked 100 times better then regular sugar. I also added more butter. I don't really measure when I cook, but it was definitely more then a tablespoon probably closer to 3. Although I used light butter it tastes the same to me.

Not a lot of flavor. Not impressed - needs work, but I'm not sure what.

I made this for dinner tonight, and my husband and I absolutely loved it! I peeled the squash with a vegetable peeler, which made it very easy to do. I was unsure of how the sage would taste in it, but I was pleasantly surprised! It gave it a very interesting flavor. I didn't have enough butternut squash, so I added a sweet potato that I had on hand, and it worked well. I will most definitely make this again - a great Thanksgiving side.

this recipe was pretty darn good. however, i found it lacked a little sweetness so I added about a tablespoon of honey. very good. but then again, butternut squash lends itself to deliciousness.

Just wanted everyone to know that I've recently seen at Costco fresh, cubed Butternut squash in the produce section. I'll now be cooking more of this life-threatening to prep veggie. I love the flavor of it no matter how it's cooked.
