Blend, adding the liquid gradually to adjust the thickness. A small diced apple can accompany sweet-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs to taste. The size of the pieces influences the cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the dish from the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a bit more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
