Stewed Squash

Peel a squash, cut it into small pieces and boil it in salted water until tender. Drain, put it into a clean towel and wring out all the water; put it again into a saucepan over the fire with two heaping tablespoonfuls of butter and a seasoning of salt and pepper, stir until it is hot, and then serve.
