Hart's Turkey Farm Butternut Squash Impersonation

When my kids wer little we would go on trips to NH from MA and always eat at Hart's. They made the best butternut squash I ever had. One time I asked them how they make it and I was told a simple recipe that I have tried to copy. It is as close as I can get it, but I think ti si yummy. And being a native New Englander I have to make butternut squash as part of Thanksgiving dinner. I grow a lot of it, we got about 3 bushels this year.

Recipe:
1 large butternut squash
4 Tbsp butter
1/8 C brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
S & P

Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out sed cavity. Place cut sides down in shallow roasting pan with about 1 inch of water in it. Bake at 350o for an hour or till fork can be easily poked into neck part of squash and it is tender. Remove sqaush from pan and let cool. Cool and scoop squash from skins. In sauce pan put squash, brown sugar, butter and nutmeg. Mash and heat through till butter and sugar are melted. Add s&p to taste.
YUM!
