Butternut Squash with Maple Syrup , Pecans and Raisins

We rarely ever eat dessert . We don't like sugar so much . The only reason I keep any in my kitchen, is to prepare Kombucha Tea. Last night though I decided to do something with this butternut squash that has been sitting on the counter top for a while. Buddy wasn't very excited about the squash but he ate the topping. My husband liked it so did I ! 
Use pure grade B maple syrup.


Ingredients :

1 butternut squash 
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup ground pecans (walnuts) 
1/4 cup raisins  
1/4 Tbsp. unsalted butter for each piece
3 cups water
ground cinnamon 
ground coriander


Preheat oven to 400F. Combine maple syrup, pecans and raisins. Set aside. Cut squash in pieces and place in a baking pan . Put butter on each piece, add water and cover with aluminum foil. Cook in oven for 30 min. Uncover and bake until done. Add topping and bake for another 5 min. Sprinkle some cinnamon and coriander.
