Scale
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cubed butternut squash
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 1/2 teaspoons hickory liquid smoke
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
DIRECTIONS
- Steam or boil the butternut squash until fork-tender. Drain well.
- Transfer the cooked butternut squash to a blender or food processor and add all remaining ingredients. Blend until a mostly smooth sauce.
- Transfer the sauce to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and bring up to a simmer.
- Stirring occasionally, let simmer 15 minutes. It is best to remove from the heat every few minutes to stir and then re-cover before returning to the heat, as the sauce will splatter.
- Rinse out blender or food processor before transferring the cooked sauce back into it. Blend until entirely smooth. Store covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Substituting the liquid smoke can be done with a teaspoon of smoked paprika if it agrees with you. Another option is a teaspoon of smoked tea called “lapsang souchong”.
