Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and just starting to brown, 5 - 6 minutes.
Step 2
Add squash, carrots, orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 25 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup to taste and orange zest. Let cool slightly.
Step 4
Using a food processor, puree vegetables in batches.
Step 5
Return to pot and heat through, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 6
If the squash is not sweet enough to your liking, you may adjust it with a bit of brown sugar.
