Butternut Squash Syrup:
- 1 butternut squash
- 6 cups water

Cut butternut squash in half and roast in oven face down. After squash is roasted, cut into chunks. In a pot, add water, brown sugar, granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Boil for 15 minutes, then taste to see how potent the syrup is. It should have a nutty taste.
