braised butternut squash

a few weeks ago i cooked up the last of my butternut squash from last fall's harvest.  i had ended up giving away at least half of the harvest, but the nice thing about them is that they last for months.  i had grown tired of butternut squash soup so i ended up improvising a braise to cook it up.  i mixed in some leeks with the chopped butternut, along with some rosemary from the garden, a few grates of nutmeg, a couple pats of butter, and about a cup of homemade chicken broth.  i then cooked it in a covered dish for about an hour in a 325 degree oven.  after that, i took off the lid, cranked the oven up to 425, added about 1/4 of cream (you can never go wrong with adding cream) and cooked it for about another half hour.  it ended up delicious and left me with leftovers that i really looked forward to.  i'll have to remember this one for next year's harvest
