For Thanksgiving, I served this vegetable dish.  However, I used frozen squash instead of fresh squash.  As a result, I had a hard time coordinating the amount of butter and maple syrup to add to the dish. Unfortunately, the dish had the improper proportions and the dish was too liquidity.  I will try again.

Despite the fact that this vegetable dish was not well received, the Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful.  My cousin Paul McCarthy and his wife Chrissy and their children Sean and Kallen  were visiting us from their home in Atlanta, Georgia. We cooked our turkey on the barbecue and enjoyed a great feast!  

I found this recipe on one of my mother Carol Callaghan's handwritten recipe cards.
