Maple Glazed Butternut Squash

Ingredients

• 1 butternut squash – peeled, seeded, quartered, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Combine butternut squash, water, maple syrup, rum, and nutmeg in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove butternut squash from saucepan using a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish, reserving liquid in the saucepan. Continue simmering liquid until reduced and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes; pour over butternut squash.
