They taste a bit like carrot cake, as the two vegetables are very similar - I've simply swapped carrots for squash. Both of them are wonderful carriers of flavours like cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The skin of a butternut squash goes deliciously chewy and soft when cooked, so there's no need to peel it off. Give these little cakes a go - they're a perfect naughty-but-nice treat. And a great way of getting your kids to eat squash!" http://www.grouprecipes.com/83344/butternut-squash-muffins-with-frosty-topping.html This is the Recipe given to me by my Granma recently. the optional extra ingredient is Garlic. I didn't add to this recipe as garlic isn't very popular with the people I was making this for. If you want to add garlic, do so in the Curing Process. http://www.grouprecipes.com/83340/irish-spiced-beef.html
