RECIPE NOTES

NOTE: ádjust the ápple juice, vegetáble broth ánd hálf-ánd-hálf áccording to how lárge your butternut squásh is. If the squásh is smáller, decreáse liquids. If it’s á whopper you máy háve to increáse this ámount. I increásed these ámounts ábove the originál recipe becáuse I hád á whopper butternut squásh.
