Method

Cook

30min

Wrap the butternut squash in cling film and microwave (600W) for 8 minutes. Cut into half, remove the seeds and scoop out the flesh into a blender.

Blend to smooth, you'll get about 300g.

In the meantime, put the chestnuts into a bowl with water to just cover and microwave(600W) for 2 minutes to soften.

Dissolve the agar powder in the water in a small pan on medium heat, then boil for 2 minutes.

Add the brown sugar and dissolve. Add the butternut squash puree and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Place the chestnuts in a tray and pour over the cooked squash puree from Step 5.

Allow to cool before putting in the fridge to firm up for 1 hour. Cut as required and serve.

Tips & Note

500g butternut squash ends up as 300g when cooked. The sugar amount should be 70-90% of the cooked weight. I added 70% this time to make it slightly healthier, but it's your choice.
