Bonà savoir How to store winter squash? Winter squashes are fruits harvested in the mature stage. Indeed, their skin is difficult to eat because it has hardened considerably at this stage. As for the seeds, they must be heat-treated in order to be safe for human consumption. Winter squashes can be kept many months in dry and dark places. Late in autumn, you can prepare butternut squash, acorn squash, red kuri, and pumpkin and freeze them. Squashes can simply be cooked (no seasoning required) in the oven until their flesh is soft. Once they’ve reached your desired doneness, freeze the puree in airtight containers or silicone bags. Then, you can incorporate this puree in any sweet pastries, such as these squash and chocolate chip muffins!
