6. Cover. Cook for 4-6 hours on Low or 2.5 – 4 hours on HIGH.

NOTE: Cook times will vary. . .but you can’t eat under cooked squash, because you can’t cut it. Therefore, make sure your squash is done, if not turn up to High if you feel it is not done yet!

Optional: When squash it tender, place each piece on a plate and sprinkle with the walnuts.

Optional: If you want your squash sweeter, drizzle with more maple syrup or honey!
