- 1/4 cup POM Wonderful Pomegranate Fresh Arils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped (2-1/2 cups)
- 6-1/2 cups butternut squash, peeled and chopped (each squash about 2-1/4 lbs.)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon group allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add chopped onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add squash and 1/2 cup of Wonderful Pistachios, then sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Combine all the spices, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for spice mixture. Set aside.
- Stir 2 teaspoons of spice mixture into the squash and onions, and cook for 3 minutes. Add chicken or vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes until squash is tender.
- Stir 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture and honey in a small pan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 1 minute until honey is foamy, then stir in 1 cup Wonderful Pistachios to coat the nuts. Spread coated pistachios on a parchment-lined sheet pan to cool.
