1/4 tsp. ground mace
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar, well packed
1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
3 Tbs. melted butter or margarine

Directions

1. Mix the squash with the salt, coriander, mace, ginger and flour. turn into a buttered 1-quart shallow casserole. Drizzle with 2 Tbs. melted butter.

2. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.

3. Mix the bread crumbs with the 3 Tbs. melted butter. Sprinkle over the squash. (Recipe may be made ahead to this point and refrigerated.)

4. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until crumbs are golden and sugar has melted.
