Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced, peeled
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Pinch of ground cloves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small butternut squash, (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Put marmalade, sugar, ginger, vanilla bean, cloves, and lemon juice in a large, wide pot. Stir in 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve marmalade and sugar.
  • Add squash, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and partially cover pot. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes. Uncover, and cook until liquid is syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove vanilla bean, and discard. Serve warm. Squash and syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week. Before serving, reheat over medium-low heat. If the syrup seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I had some leftover squash from a soup I made, and I decided to try this recipe. The squash turned out great, and it was a delicious and easy snack.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I simply tossed the butternut squash with some olive oil, brown sugar, and spices, and then roasted it in the oven. The squash came out perfectly tender and flavorful.

This candied butternut squash recipe was a hit! The squash was perfectly caramelized and had a delicious sweet and savory flavor. I served it as a side dish with roasted chicken and vegetables, and it was a perfect complement to the meal.
