Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium acorn squash
1/3 c pineapple juice
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Cut squash crosswise into 1/2" slices and discard seeds. Arrange in a large covered skillet. They are easier to arrange in the pan if you cut each ring in half. In a small bowl, combine juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over squash rings.
  • 2. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until squash is tender. Arrange squash on a platter and pour remaining sauce over squash.
