Over medium heat, melt butter in a wide saute pan. Add olive oil. Add the squash. Saute for approximately 7-8 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the jalapenos and cumin, salt and pepper. Continue to saute until squash is soft but not mushy, another 5-7 minutes. Just before plating, sprinkle over the brown sugar and lightly toss. Serve immediately.
