You have a butternut squash.  Now what?  In a few easy steps you can peel and seed almost any autumn squash using this method.

1. Cut the top and bottom ends of the squash off to make a flat surface.
2. Place the flat end of squash on a cutting board.
3. Keeping your fingers out of the way, cut the peel off the squash and discard.
4. Cut the squash in half the long way.
5. Take a heavy spoon and scrape out the seeds and discard. (You can also make snacks from the seeds. Send me a note in the “contact page” if you want a recipe.)
6. Take the peeled and seeded squash and cut into strips then into chucks.
