Recipe: Orange-Pecan Stuffed Acorn Squash

ORANGE-PECAN STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

2 acorn squash
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp grated orange peel
2 tsp orange juice (or as needed)
2 tbsp chopped pecans

Halve squash; remove seeds. Place, cut side down, on greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or till squash is tender.

Scoop out pulp, leaving thin shell. Stir together pulp, brown sugar, butter, salt and orange peel. Add enough orange juice (about 2 tsp) to make fluffy consistency. Refill shells; sprinkle with pecans.

Bake 10 minutes more.
