Ingredients

  • 10 cup (1-inch) cubed peeled butternut squash (about 8 pounds)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°.

Arrange squash pieces in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with oil, stirring to coat. Bake at 400° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until squash is tender and beginning to brown, stirring every 20 minutes.

Transfer squash to a bowl. Add juice, sugar, brandy, 1 tablespoon butter, cinnamon, and salt. Mash mixture with a potato masher until combined and fairly smooth. Stir in currants. Scrape squash mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Combine flours in a small bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons chilled butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle pecan mixture evenly over squash mixture. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated and topping begins to brown. Serve warm.

Can half, seed and bake squash. Then scoop out and procede.
