  1. This was pretty tasty. I hadn't eaten squash in 30 years (awful childhood memories!) and had never cooked it, so I was eager to see how it would turn out. The flavor was very good and the texture was decent. I passed this recipe on to my mom.
     
  2. This was easy to make and a wonderful taste. The only adjustment I would make would be to cut back a little on the rum next time.
     
  3. Very nice side dish for Thanksgiving. They made a lovely presentation on the table as well.
     
  4. Quick and simple to prepare. The rum has a nice mellow flavor that goes great with the squash, but not something I think kids would go for. More of an adult sort of thing. The sauce caramelizes nicely on top of the squash, from the basting technique. Overall, very nice! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Very easy and supremely delicious. I used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. Gave the squash a wonderful flavor. Turned out very tender. Looked beautiful also. Going to have to put this one on the Thanksgiving menu for sure. Thanks Lorac.
