The tiny honeynut squash is a culinary marvel. A cross between a butternut and a buttercup, the honeynut squash was developed for its flavor by Michael Mazourek, a plant breeder at Cornell University, and Dan Barber, chef and owner of Blue Hill. The honeynut is nearly half the size of a butternut squash, but is much sweeter and more flavorful. The squash’s diminutive size makes it perfect for slow cooking in the Suvie. A final broil caramelizes the natural sugars in the squash further concentrating its flavor.
