Sweet but Savory Butternut Squash

Submitted by januarybride

"A little bit sweet and a little bit savory. This squash is a great side dish to chicken or pork, but it can also stand all alone as a main course. Recipe from Rachel Ray's October 2008 magazine."

We enjoyed this very much, and it so easy to prepare, I had a smallish butternut, so used the whole thing, and I did omit the raisins because none of us really care for them. Used my own sage, fresh from the garden! Another tasty way to enjoy a popular vegetable! Thanks JB! Made for vegetarian Swap, April 09

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this dish! The sage did it for me, and like you said, the savory and the sweet was great! Thanks! Made for Vegetarian Swap.

A delicious way to serve squash. the name says it all - not too sweet or savory, but a great combo. We had it with our Thanksgiving dinner.

Thank you so much for A WONDERFUL TASTING SQUASH DISH! I served this with some finger-lickin' recipe #255477 & a simple salad for a great dinner! My other half isn't all that enthused when it comes to squash, but this one was very satisfying for both of us! Thanks for posting the recipe!
