Maple-Glazed Butternut Squash

• 1 medium butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mace

1. Peel, seed and quarter the squash.
2. Cut, crosswise, into 1/2-inch slices to make about 5 1/2 cups.
3. Bring the squash, water, maple syrup, rum and mace to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
5. While the squash is simmering, warm a serving dish in a 200 F oven or by filling it with very hot water.
6. Reserving the cooking liquid, transfer the squash with a slotted spoon to the warmed serving dish.
7. Increase the heat and boil the cooking liquid about 3 minutes, or until it is thickened.
8. Pour the thickened liquid over the squash.
