Maple Squash Puree

Ingredients:
squash, winter, butternut, raw
water, bottled, generic
salt, table
syrup, maple, canadian
butter, without salt
spices, pepper, black

Directions:
Simmer squash in water with 1 teaspoon salt in a 5-quart pot (water will not cover squash), covered, until squash is very tender, about 15 minutes.
Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid, then drain squash in a colander.
Puree squash, syrup, and butter in batches in a food processor until smooth, adding reserved cooking liquid if puree is too thick.
Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in pepper and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt.
Add crumbled bacon: Cook 6 bacon slices in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until crisp.
Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then crumble and sprinkle over puree.
Add 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger to puree along with pepper and salt.
