Winter Squash

If the shell be hard split the squash, remove the seeds and steam. If the shell is soft pare it before steaming. To one pint of squash season with two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, and a little heavy cream is a great improvement; mash very lightly.
