Butternut Vanilla Jam is so good! A different use for the squash in your cold storage that will be a hit with the family.
If you don’t have vanilla beans it’s no problem. They are so expensive anymore that an easy replacement is Vanilla Paste. So very very good that you’ll have to use your willpower to keep from eating it out of the jar.

We have liquid vanilla. So how much liquid Vanilla vs. Paste? Can’t wait to try this recipe

Well I revamped the recipe and used frozen butternut squash. Takes 2 bags but you have to check the diced chunks as I noticed some still had the peeling on. Each bag has 4 cups.
