Amazing Recipes: Sous Vide Acorn Squash Puree Recipe

Acorn squash has a great flavor combination of sweet, nutty, and buttery, then when you combine it with some spices and maple syrup, they really intensifies the flavor.

Sous Vide and Modernist Cooking Blog: What Happened? My Brisket Turned Out Dry - Ask Jason
