INGREDIENTS
| 4 | lb | Hubbard squash |
| 1/2 | c | Water |
| 1/2 | c | Brandy |
| 2 | T | Sugar |
| 1/2 | c | Slivered blanched almonds |
| 3 1/4 | c | All-purpose flour |

| 1 | t | Ground cinnamon |
| 10 | T | Unsalted butter, softened |
| 1/2 | c | Amaretti cookies, crushed |

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 F. Toast almonds and chop fine. Halve the squash lenghwise, and remove seeds and fiber. Place squash, cut side down, in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the squash in a single layer. Pour in the water. Bake, covered for 30 minutes. Remove dish from oven, turn squash over and cool. Use a spoon to remove the flesh. Cut into 2-inch cubes. Place squash in a bowl, drizzle with brandy, sprinkle with sugar and set aside for 30 minutes to macerate. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix in the butter, working with your fingers until the mixture holds together and is crumbly. Stir in the chopped almonds and the crushed amaretti cookies. Set aside. Place squash and juice in a 12-inch round baking dish. Spread the almond mixture evenly over them. Bake for 1 hour, or until the squash is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. To serve, scoop hot crisp into individual dessert bowls and drizzle with chilled heavy cream. From Kevin Baker, chef de cuisine, Vivande Ristorante.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
