Preparation steps

1.

For the skewers, scrub the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes in boiling salted water. Rinse in cold water and drain. Peel the butternut squash, remove seeds and fibers and cut into bite-sized cubes.

2.

In a saucepan, melt the sugar, pour in the orange juice and add the squash cubes. Season with cinnamon and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

3.

Cut cheese into approximately 1/2 inch cubes and alternately thread on wooden skewers with the squash and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the rosemary, and cook 5-7 minutes, turning frequently.

4.

For the dip, mix crème fraîche with the cream, lemon juice, mint and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the skewers.
