I bought the squash and then didn't feel up to cooking that evening. My hubby did the cooking. He did a wonderful job. We didn't have the brandy, so he subbed with rum. A medium squash took about an hour to bake. It was soooo yummy! We loved the spices. They were a perfect balance with the squash and other ingredients. We will be making this again and again! Thanks so much, Sue Lau!

I used what I think is called a Uchiki Kuri Squash it is slightly different in it's flavor but it went well with this recipe. I used the full 2 tsp of Brandy along with the other spices. It was delightful how they brought out the flavor of the squash without overpowering it..There was still a distinct hint of Brandy mellowed with the cinnamon etc. Thanks Sue for another recipe for one of my favorite veggies - Squash
