Butternut Squash Brioche with Maple Pecan Jam

Fall is cozy time: the season of warm and hearty soups and stews, Halloween treats, and now, brioche pumpkin recipes. Take a break from celebrating your favorite football or hockey team, watching the major league playoffs, and planning your next best Halloween Costume. Instead, let loose in the kitchen, break out the squash, and get to baking. This treat is a perfect warm-up for any fall meal, is great next day, and is the perfect “I’ll bring an appetizer” item if you’re going to a friend’s or families house for dinner.

Deciding a theme ingredient is easy when you start to see all the winter squash varieties lining the produce shelves. Pumpkin recipes are currently in full swing and it’d be disrespectful for us to not notice that. As far as we are concerned pumpkin is a type of squash, so you could technically consider this a vague take on a pumpkin recipe, besides, butternut squash and pumpkin are very similar fruits! Yes, we know, it may not seem like it however pumpkin and squash are fruits although they are commonly prepared like vegetables. This means you can roast, toast, purée, sauté, or even mash these useful ingredients into some amazing dishes and desserts.
