SWEET BUTTERNUT SQUASH N' FRUIT

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half the long way and remove the seeds/guts. Rub the exposed flesh with a little olive oil. Place on a cookie sheet cut-side-up and bake at 350 until softened, usually between 30 and 60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, there are two ways to go. If you are careful and do not damage the outer skin of the squash halves, you may use a squash half as a serving bowl, which looks pretty nifty. You should be able to use a melon baller to scoop out the cooked squash flesh. If you're not worried about saving the shell, just slice off the skin to get at the flesh. Cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces.
• Cut the apples into bite-sized chunks and combine with the squash pieces. (You need not skin the apples) Add the raisins and craisins. Melt the butter in a separate container and mix the remaining ingredients into the butter. Dump the liquid over the squash/apple mix and stir well to coat.
• Put into a pie pan or small casserole dish (or empty squash shell) and pop back into the oven for 10 or 15 minutes, just long enough to slightly soften the apples and allow the butter to soak through. Serve warm.

SWEET BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Cut squash in half and remove seeds, soft pulp, and fibers. Then peel the squash and place it cut side down on a cutting board. Cut in half length-wise and then cut into into 1/2-inch slices.
• Peel and core the apples; cut in 1/2-inch slices.
• Combine the cider, marmalade, melted butter, sugar, flour, salt and spice.
• Layer half of the butternut squash in the bottom of the crockpot; top with one half of the apple slices, one half of the pineapple and half of the sugar and spice mixture. Repeat layers.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, then switch to LOW and cook 4 hours longer, or until butternut squash is tender. Add in the cranberries, give it a stir, and turn off the crockpot to let it cool for about 45 minutes.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and some chopped walnuts if you like.
