  • 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.
