Cathy from the New York food blog Not Eating Out in New York has been exploring the savory side of winter squash. But her recent success tucked roasted butternut squash into ice cream. Yes. Ice Cream.

She writes: "Not butter rum ice cream, not just butternut squash ice cream (although you can just omit the rum if you care for that), but buttery, yummy rum butternut squash ice cream. Say that five times fast. Now try it after some more of that rum."

Was it any good? To find out and for Cathy's recipe, grab a spoon and head on over to Rum Butternut Ice Cream. Be sure to mention you're visiting from Blogher.

BlogHer food editor Alanna Kellogg has made ice cream from beets and fennel and collects sweet (and especially savory) winter squash recipes.
