(I do this by taste and eye)
Select a nice hunk of banana squash (about a pound or more)
- Clean out seeds
- Remove the skin (I use a potato peeler)
- Cut cleaned squash into 1 to 2 inch cubes
- Steam till soft (about like making mashed potatoes)
- Drain squash
- Mash up squash (again, like mashed potatoes), should be about 4 cups
- Put in baking dish
- Add sprinkle of pepper (not much more then a shake or 2)
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of margarine (1/2 stick)Add about 1 to 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- Taste a small sample (mixture should taste pretty sweet)
- Mix it all up (should seem just a little soupy)
- Bake uncovered 375 preheated oven till starts to bubble around sides (about 1/2 to 3/4 hour)
Serve (will stay hot for about an hour if covered)
