Has anyone ever tried substituting butternut squah for pumpkin? I have had no luck with pumkins yet, but I have a ton of butternut squash.
Thanks!

In what recipe? I would think anything would be fine, other than maybe "pumpkin" pie. I eat pumpkin, like squash- so why not the other way...?

Oh absolutely. I think butternut squash makes better pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread than pumpkin does, frankly -- and I gather that what's sold commercially as "pumpkin", you know in the cans at the supermarket, is actually a large squash very similar to butternut.
So, by all means do it

Next year, I'm going to try my hand at growing the new, small, blue hubbards.ohiofarmgirl said:

I've substituted butternut squash for mashed sweet potatoes too. I think if you spiced it right, you could make a really nice pie. My favorite use for them is a gingered soup.
