2 2 lbs butternut squash or 2 lbs winter squash, weight approximate
1 1/2 cups apple juice or 1 1/2 cups apple cider
1 cup water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Herb Butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh sage, coarsely chopped or 1/4 cup about 1 1/2 tbsp ground sage
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon cinnamon, preferably freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated

1
Peel squash and seed it. Cut squash into cubes 1 inch wide by 1/2 inch thick.
2
Melt butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium to medium low heat.
3
Add sage and rosemary and cook, stirring until the butter just begins to turn golden brown. Do not brown the herbs. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
4
Add the squash to the skillet, then the juice, water, vinegar and a pinch of salt.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, increasing the heat if need be. Reduce heat and keep it at a simmer.
6
Stir occasionally until the juice has boiled down to a glaze and the squash is as tender as you want it. Time varies with type of squash. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
7
Taste and season with salt and pepper. My dd really liked this with some maple syrup on top. As long as she is eating veggies- right? :).
8
Serve.
