Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe squash for candying. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
- Peel and cut the squash into 1-inch cubes. The smaller the cubes, the quicker they will cook.
- To make the sugar syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the squash cubes to the sugar syrup and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and translucent.
- Remove the squash from the syrup and spread it out on a wire rack to cool.
- Once the squash is cool, roll it in granulated sugar.
- Store the candied squash in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Candied squash is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in other dishes. It is a great way to use up leftover squash and is a perfect addition to holiday gatherings.
