This is a dessert/compote that is reminiscent of the smells and tastes of my childhood in Brazil. There are many variations that can be made: sweet shredded coconut, cinnamon, or nutmeg. My favorite type is the most simple and most common; butternut squash is cooked down with sugar and a hint of clove. It is best served chilled with soft white cheeses or spread on toast. Served at the end of a meal in small cups, it really shines on its own.
