Rosemary Butternut Squash

In the past preserving food, having it through the fall, winter and early spring was really at the top of mind. Choosing vegetables like winter squash that have staying power in that they will last through the winter was one way of preserving food. One of the reasons these squash last so long is that they are tough. They have a nice thick skin on them which allows you to store them in a cool dark place and keep them there for a very long time.
