Acorn (or Butternut) Squash

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 acorn squash, cut in half
• 8-10 tbsp maple syrup
• 4 tbsp butter

Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds and loose pulp. Rinse and prick the insides several times with a fork.

Place face down in a glass baking dish and add about an inch of water. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

Remove fom oven, drain water and turn squash halves over. Add 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of butter to each.

Use a spoon to drizzle syrup and butter so that the inside of the squash is well coated.

Bake for another 30 minutes (or till very tender when pricked with a fork), drizzling syrup over insides every 10 minutes.

Serve in the shell.
