Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When selecting butternut squash, look for those that have hard, tough rinds and are heavy for their size. Peeling the squash will be easier if you first microwave it on High for 3 minutes.
  • tip 2
    Substitute apple pie spice for the cinnamon and nutmeg.
