Sounds delicious! I don’t think we have frozen butternut squash in the UK, will it turn out the same if I use fresh?
sure just needs to be fully cooked and pureed before hand – extra step but totally delish!!!!!!!
Yes I’ve used fresh squash plenty of times, it’s just one more step (to cook n soften the squash)
instructions for squash kugel left out sugar
Am I able to eliminate the nutmeg? Will it change anything?
When do you use the sugar?
no just eliminate the nutmeg if you don’t like it.
When do yo use the brown sugar?
oops sorry we fixed the recipe – see step 2.
Thank you; I hope it will be delicious for Shabbat
btw when I printed it, the words were so small.
If you use fresh squash do you need to blend it first?
If you don’t it will just be chunkier as opposed to super smooth so up to you – I happen to like chunky.
great recipe!!! if i use fresh squash how do i work out quantity?
you will need about 20-ounces = 2 1/2 cups of peeled and cubed or pureed squash
How do you get it to that consistency? When I made it, it was very stringy.I want to try it again for this Shabbas.
Thanks, love all your recipes!

Hi Jen! thanks, did you use the frozen? or fresh. Sometimes fresh squash can be stringy. Let me know/give me more details and then we can try and trouble shoot.
