2/3 cup water

3 cups sugar

3 ½ cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1.        Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve squash lengthwise and remove seeds. Place squash halves, cut side down, on a foil covered cookie sheet. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes or until tender. Cool squash completely. Scoop squash pulp from shell using a spoon, into a blender. Blend till smooth. You may need to add a little water to get it smooth.
