Making your own butternut squash puree is surprisingly simple, affordable, and oh-so rewarding! Whipping up your own puree not only yields much fresher and delicious results, but also allows you to control the seasonings, roasting method, and consistency depending on your specific need. We love to stock up on a few batches of this butternut squash puree during the fall and winter months to use in cozy autumn soups, stews, sauces, pasta dishes or even as a standalone Thanksgiving or holiday side dish.
