Citrus Glazed Banana Squash image

If you are not familiar with banana squash, this is a great 'first-timer' recipe to try. Cubed squash is simmered, then glazed in a simple citrus sauce. It is basically foolproof and everyone will love it! Even my kids ate it up. This serves well with chicken, pork and fish.

Time 12m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ pounds banana squash, peeled and cubed
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1 tablespoon orange juice
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add squash cubes and water. Cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until squash is tender. Stir occasionally, and add more water if necessary to prevent squash from sticking to the pan.
  • Reduce heat to low, and stir in the orange juice, apricot preserves, cloves, salt and pepper. Cook and stir uncovered until squash is evenly glazed.
