Winter Squash and Apple Compote

Bring the juice or cider to a boil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the winter squash and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the apples.

When the pot continues to boil again, sprinkle the sugar and (if desired) the cinnamon red hearts on the apples. Continue to cook until apples and squash are tender.

It is possible you might need some additional apple juice (add as needed).

You should be able to see the juice near the top of the apples when done.

When taking out of the saucepan, into a bowl, mix the apples and squash.

This is a good side dish with meat or chicken.
