Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maple Butternut Squash Glaze.
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine the butternut squash, water, maple syrup, dark rum, and ground nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally until the squash is tender, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the butternut squash from the saucepan and transfer it to a serving dish, leaving the liquid behind.
Step 4
Continue to simmer the remaining liquid in the saucepan until it reduces and thickens, which will take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the thickened sauce over the butternut squash in the serving dish and enjoy.
