Winter Squash Baked With Maple Syrup image

This is a very simple, tried and true recipe from Fannie Farmer, with very minor changes. You must use PURE maple syrup for this to come out right. Butternut Squash can be prepared this way as well. Oh, I forgot to add, it is delicious!

Yield 2 vegetable servings, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 acorn squash
1 pinch salt, to taste per side
fresh ground pepper, just two twists per side
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.
  • Turn the squash cut side up and poke the cut side several times with a fork.

  • Serve warm and enjoy!
