    Don't know what the deal is with the bad reviews--I'm glad I ignored them! Made this as an afterthought side dish for Thanksgiving dinner and it was my and several other guests' favorite part of the meal! Quite a hit with everyone except for my vegetable-hating son. I didn't find the vinegar to be overpowering at all and I used the full 1/2 cup called for. I couldn't find fresh sage and had to substitute 1/3 of the quantity dried. I also did not puree--wonderful! While I haven't tried it pureed, I think I prefer it this way--and it eliminates a messy step! Also, don't know why this is rated intermediate--it was a snap! I had a lot of vinegar/molasses mixture though so I saved some of it and basted the squash with it half-way through. I was afraid that if I used all of it from the beginning of roasting it would burn.

    it was okay. we had at out thanksgiving dinner, and it definitely wasn't a hit. it's okay in small portions; however the malasses taste was a little strong. it might have been better with brown sugar instead

    I almost lost a thumb trying to peel the squash with a knife after the vegetable peeler didn't work. I got about two square inches of peel off before I gave up and threw them in the oven to soften up. Did anyone actually succeed in peeling a raw squash? Anyway, I plan to up the molasses and cut waaay back on the vinegar and spices after reading other's comments. I'll update tomorrow when it's finished. Thanks for the comments, guys.

    Don't puree it! Serve this dish as cubed but make sure you mash/chop the rosemary and it is EVEN BETTER! :- SO GOOD

    I brought this squash to Thanksgiving dinner and it ended up in with the bone pile on peoples plates and of course I got teased. <: There was way too much blasamic vinegar in the recipe. I would reduce the amount to half of what it calls for - or maybe just a tablespoon of the vinegar because it is so overpowering. I actually added an extra, whole, large, boiled squash and it did nothing to dillute the flavor of the vinegar. It's a really good idea of a squash recipe, ( sounds & looks good... but I wonder if the people who made this recipe, that really enjoyed it( on this review page changed it at all ? I might try this again but with way less vinegar.

    An excellent choice to replace Yams and I dicovered that my kids will eat squash prepared in this manner! Will use this recipie more often. I prefer the dish before it has been put in the food processer.

    It seems like the recipe was missing an ingredient to give it more liquid. I tried to make 1/2 a batch and it came out way to sweet and there were very few liquids from the baking of the squash. Maybe it would be better if I made the suggested full recipe.

    I made this for Thanksgiving for my family. We all love to cook and trying new recipes. We made several of the recipes from this episode and this was the only one that got a thumbs down. I doubled the recipe for the amount of people we had and it all went down the disposal. Comments ranged from "it's okay" to "I didn't like it at all".

    It looked wonderful just out of the oven and I didn't puree it for that reason. It was delicious. Gave me some ideas for yams as well.
