Butternut has a very small seed cavity inside, so it's not the best one for stuffing. You can only get in just enough stuffing to set off accusatory looks as it is rationed out at the table.
It is a winter squash.
Cooking Tips
To bake, halve and seed it (do not peel). Place cut side up on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Then either sprinkle with brown sugar, or with crushed pineapple and a sprinkling of orange juice. Cover with tin foil, bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
Storage
Will keep, unpeeled, for several months in a cool place.
Literature & Lore
With its skin the colour of butter (real butter, without the dairy colourings added), and its flesh tasting slightly nutty, it's easy to see where its name of "butternut" came from.
Also called:  Butternüßekürbisse (German)
