Glazed Acorn Squash
Recipe By : Family Circle-11/1/98
Serving Size : 8

I fixed this the other night and there was none left. Comments -"Loved those apples Mom!" I didn't tell them any different, LOL

2 acorn squash -- halved and seeded
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1. Place squash, cut side down, in shallow microwave-safe dish. Add 2 tbls. water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on High power 8-10 minutes, until tender. Let stand 5 min.
2. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
3. Carefully remove plastic wrap. Cut squash halves in half lengthwise. Place, skin side down, on baking pan.
4. Mix sugar, syrup, cinnamon, ginger, salt in bowl. Spoon on squash.
5. Bake in 375 degree oven 10 min. until squash is glazed. Sprinkle with parsley.

NOTES : Changes I made: After cooking and cooling the squash, cut off peeling and cube. Toss in the brown sugar mixture and dot with 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter. As you are heating it up, re-toss occasionally.
