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