Description:

An easy way to use leftover squash. These freeze well and the spices can be adjusted for your taste. I used white sugar originally. I think agave or another sugar would work equally well. These aren't very sweet so could be glazed if you like. Nuts could also be a nice addition if you can eat them. They are very quick and easy to whip up.
