Squash, Georgia Candy Roaster

The Georgia Candy Roaster has a pumpkin-like, slightly nutty flavor that deepens the longer it's stored. When roasted with a little bit of fat, its orange flesh caramelizes to a creamy, candy-crunchy exterior with a burnt-sugar, buttery nuttiness. Bakers find its sweet, creamy-textured flesh perfect for pies. The candy roaster, stashed in a cool place, such as a cupboard or a basement, for up to six months, the squash not only keeps, but also sweetens. It will wait for you all winter and will only get sweeter with age!
