SQUASH base

Anyone use butternut or acorn squash as a sauce base?
I was reading some other OT recipes and something screamed "hot sauce" about half way into it.
I grill off both pretty regular as a side for alot of pork pieces,that flavor would be very good in a sauce
as long as it doesnt get lost with to much other crap.
I think the acorn is a bit sweeter overall so my interest would be inclined to focus on the butternut varity
 
Yall take it from here . . . .
 
I made some yesterday with 2 small squash from my garden the size of zucchini. I added 1 squeezed juice from an orange, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 tbs honey, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 cup of ACV, 1 carrot, 20 rep ripe serrano's, 2 smoked and dried habs and it was really thick,tasty and had a great flavor. My brother liked it so much I gave it to him. He took me golfing yesterday so it was the least I could do. :)  So the squash might be used more often now in my sauces. 
 
Made two small batch's with the second being outstandingly the "best"
Problem in the kitchen were all the margarita's and a ahhh well . . . . . nothing got wrote down :rolleyes:
 
i make thick butternut squash soup which could incorporate peppers easily from using pepper salts when creating a fond on the bottom of the pan to using whole  peppers
 
Do up some butternut pies
Ole Punkin and Sweet Tater aint got a dog in the hunt comparatively
I have three reaaady for tomorrows chow-down(aint much left of the fourth one) ;)
