Ingredients

2 acorn squash (2 lb.), cut lengthwise in half, seeded
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted, divided
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, drained, finely chopped
1 pear, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. honey

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F.
Cut thin slice off rounded side of each squash half to prevent it from tipping over. Place in single layer in foil-lined pan; brush insides evenly with about half the butter.
Combine fruit and nuts in medium bowl. Add sugar and honey; mix lightly. Spoon into squash halves; brush with remaining butter.
Bake 1 hour or until squash is tender. Cut in half.
