Buttercup Squash, Barnard Inn Style Ingredients

1 Medium buttercup squash	2 Large Cortland apples
1/4 c Butter	12 Cranberries
Salt	Sugar syrup (one part sugar
Nutmeg	To one part water)
1/4 c Vermont maple syrup

Instructions for Buttercup Squash, Barnard Inn Style

Blanch cranberries in sugar syrup, being careful not to boil. (They shouldnt burst.) Cool and leave in syrup for one hour or refrigerate overnight. Slice the apples into 1/4 inch (approximately) slices and spread on buttered tray. Cut one medium buttercup squash (unpeeled) into eight pieces and steam until the inside is soft, while the shell remains somewhat firm. Scoop out slightly cooled meat and mash. Whip the mashed squash with about one-fourth cup of butter, nutmeg, and salt to taste, and about one-fourth cup of maple syrup (depending on dryness of the squash) to achieve a consistency that will hold its shape. Squeeze through a piping bag (or substitute) and mound onto the apple slices. Cortland preferred because it doesnt discolor quickly.) Place a blanched cranberry on top. Just before serving, heat on buttered tray in preheated 350? oven for 10-15 minutes. These may be prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to heat and serve. by Chef/Owner Sepp Schenker From In Season, a publication of the Vermont Department of Agriculture, Food and Markets From Geminis MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
