Episode 21: Acorn Squash

We've gotten a few of these acorn squashes from our farmer and decided it was time to cook them up. This recipe is really similar to the butternut squash recipe, but I think the two squashes taste different from each other. And that they deserved their own shows. My brother, who did not like the butternut squash, loved the acorn squash.
Ingredients:

1 Acorn squash
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise, from stem to end. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff in the center of each half. Put butter, cinnamon and sugar in squash. Put it in a pan, cut side down. Add 1/2 cup of water. Bake for about 1 hour. Take squash from the oven. Turn back over and set in a bowl. Ladle out any "syrup" or drippings from the pan and stir them in with your squash. Enjoy as a snack or with dinner!
