Directions for: Pickled Squash "Marmalade"

Ingredients

550 g (4 cups) peeled and diced butternut squash, cut into 1/2 cm (1/4-inch) dice

300 g (1 1/2 cups) granulated sugar

125 mL (1/2 cup) white vinegar

1 whole lemon, cut in half

1 whole orange, cut in half

5 cm piece (2 inches) lemongrass, bruised with the back of a knife

Directions

1. Place the squash, sugar and vinegar in a medium saucepan and stir together over medium heat. Squeeze the juice from the lemon and orange into the pot, and then add the fruit to the pot (the zest will add great flavor). Stir in the piece of lemongrass and bring this up to a simmer. Reduce the heat, if needed, to simmer the squash gently, uncovered, and stirring occasionally for 35 to 40 minutes, until the syrup has thickened and the squash is glossy. (The mixture will thicken as it cools.) Remove the pan from the heat and discard the lemon, orange and lemongrass. Cool the marmalade to room temperature and then chill until ready to use.

2. The marmalade will keep for up to 3 months, refrigerated.
