Yes. At the time of year when winter squash are harvested, you may want to try different varieties in your favourite recipes. Here is a quick substitution list to help you along in your culinary creations. * When a recipe calls for peeled squash, choose smooth-skinned butternut or delicata squash. * Acorn, pepper or sweet dumpling squash are ideal for stuffing. * For baking in halves or chunks, buttercup, banana, hubbard, turban, kuri and other hard-skinned squash are suitable. To bake; place halves (with seeds and fibers scooped out) cut side down in greased baking dish or on baking sheet in 400°F (200°C) oven for about 45 minutes or until soft.
