A little winter squash called delicata has edible skin, which makes cooking it a joy! Wash, trim the ends, then cut the fruit in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and cut the fruit into half moon shapes. It tastes great alone by itself, roasted plain, or baked in this wonderful cheese sauce.

I cut the recipe down to eight servings. Very good homemade Kahlua with the addition of espresso rather than coffee. I served it on the rocks, frozen coffee ice cubes. Since it takes a month, I have started a full recipe! Thanks for a great recipe!
does it need to be stored in the refrigerator or can you store it in a pantry
