Ingredients
1 (20 oz) pkg. cubed butternut squash
2 tangerines or 1 orange
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions
1. Place squash in a steamer basket and steam until tender when tested with a small, sharp knife or fork, about 13 to 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

3. Add cooked, drained squash to the food processor or blender and puree. Add cinnamon, oil, salt, and pepper and blend to incorporate all the ingredients.
4. Transfer puree to a serving dish and serve hot.
