ACORN SQUASH BAKED IN BUTTER AND MAPLE SYRUP
We love acorn squash and this is a fantastic way to prepare it. Once baked, the acorn squash is tender and tastes similar to a sweet potato casserole. Dip bites of squash into the sweet and buttery sauce. Yum!

Steps:
- 1. Wash squash, prick all over with tines of a fork 7 or 8 times. Cook in the microwave until they start to soften. This will speed both prep and baking time.
- 2. Slice squash lengthwise.
- 3. Scoop out seeds.
- 4. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray and put about 1/2 inch of water in it. Place the squash, cut side up, in a prepared pan. Put 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons maple syrup in each squash. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all.
- 5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 hour 15, minutes, or until fork-tender. Baste squash every 20 minutes.
