Peeling winter squash can be a challenge to the novice. The thin-skinned varieties (acorn, butternut, delicata and sweet dumpling) can be peeled with a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Carol F.

Google that, and you can see what it looks like. I just got a plastic one for a few dollars at a kitchen store. They work so much better than a regular vegetable peeler on the harder veggies! :-) Steph, Aspie, IgA allergies to gluten & casein SCD 3 months -- http://www.PraiseMoves.com The Christian Alternative to Yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Sharmista: We buy organic squash (butternut) available at loblaws and don't peel them. I simply scrub the skin with soap & water. If you deep fry them in hot oil, you barely notice the skin. It works well in the oven too, especially if broiled. Keep a close eye on them though. carolfrilegh c.frilegh@...> wrote: > > Hi group! We're new, and getting ready to start the diet. My > daughter has autism and her dr. recommended it.
