Peel butternut squash

This is an alternative to using a carrot peeler for peeling. 

 

Bring a large pot of water to a poil.  

Add the squash and boil for about 4 minutes - until you can easily prick the skin with a toothpick.

Remove the squash from the water and let cool.

The skin should come off easily with a carrot peeler.
