INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Place cut-side down on a deep cookie sheet with about half an inch of water poured around it. Bake for one hour.

Using a large spoon, scrape the squash's pulp away from the skin, and place in a mixing bowl with the sage, ginger, 4 tablespoons of the sugar, and 3 tablespoons of butter. Mash the mixture together until smooth.

Increase the oven temperature to 415 degrees.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch loaf pan, and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into slivers. Place into oven, and bake for one hour.
