Citrus Glazed Banana Squash

If you are not familiar with banana squash, this is a great 'first-timer' recipe to try. Cubed squash is simmered, then glazed in a simple citrus sauce. It is basically foolproof and everyone will love it! Even my kids ate it up. This serves well with chicken, pork and fish.

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
• 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 ½ pounds banana squash, peeled and cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add squash cubes and water. Cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until squash is tender. Stir occasionally, and add more water if necessary to prevent squash from sticking to the pan.

Step 2

Reduce heat to low, and stir in the orange juice, apricot preserves, cloves, salt and pepper. Cook and stir uncovered until squash is evenly glazed.
