Try them on their own first, but also try adding any flavors that suit your fancy– from sweet curries to cranberry to honeyglazes to sage, garlic and/or rosemary. Honeynut also does well as a desert–used as an edible cup for custard–our favorite is to lightly fry apple slices in butter and sugar to make a sweet caramel glaze, and put these in the bottom of the scooped out seed cavity and pour a cinnamon and nutmeg custard in on top. We find that for this recipe, it is best to pre-cook the squash somewhat, as it needs more time in the oven than the custard.
