Something Unusual: Confettura di Zucca, or Squash Jam

Some varieties of Italian winter squash are sizable, and when friends gave us one close to a yard long we started off with squash soup. One can only eat so much squash soup, however. Pouring through cookbooks turned up several other ideas, including squash jam, which here gains from the addition of apples and pears. Quite good, in fact, and perfect over toast or with cheese.
