This recipe is from my Aunt Maggie's collection. She is long gone, God rest her soul, but she was the best cook and my hero in the culinary world. This was her yearly addition to the holiday meals. Hope you enjoy as much as we do. Ingredients:
2 acorn squash |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
stuffing |
1/4 cup raisins |
1/4 cup sweet wine |
3 medium apples |
4 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Halve squash and scoop out seeds and stringy interiors.
2. Trim undersides so halves will sit flat.
3. Brush cut surfaces with melted butter then sprinkle with salt and cinnamon.
4. Place in baking pan with cut sides down.
5. Put 1/2 cup water in pan then bake squash 30 minutes in preheated 350 oven.
