Boiled Squash

Choose the hard, yellow squash, cut it into pieces of medium size, peel the pieces, and remove the seeds and the soft mesh surrounding them. Boil gently in plenty of water for forty minutes or until the squash is tender. Then drain off the water, return the squash to the kettle, let it stand for five minutes tightly covered, mash it fine and place it, uncovered, for ten minutes in a good heat to dry, stirring frequently, while drying. Season with butter, salt and pepper.
