Many area farms have fared well through the wet weather while some Northeastern states face a pumpkin shortage. (AP Photo/The Post Star, Aaron Eisenhauer).

    • 1  Butternut Squash-peeled, cut into ¼” x ¼”x3” sticks
    • 1 Cup Cornstarch-sifted just before using
    • ½ Cup Tomato Ketchup
    • 3 Tbsp. Apple Jelly
    • ½ tsp. Chipotle Pepper Puree
    • As Needed Vegetable Oil, Fine Sea Salt and Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

    Soak the butternut squash sticks in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Prepare the ketchup by whisking together the ketchup, apple jelly and chipotle pepper puree until smooth. Reserve.

    Heat fry oil to 350°f. Drain the water off of the butternut squash sticks leaving slightly damp. Dredge the fries in the sifted cornstarch , shaking off all excess coating. Drop in small batches into the frying oil and cook for about 3 minutes or until darkened and crisp. Drain, season to taste with fine sea salt and fine sugar. Serve with the ketchup. Serves four.
