This is my most requested vegetable dish every holiday. It's not as sweett as yams and it melts in your mouth. Kids love it too. It's also very attractive to serve.
Ingredients:
1 acorn squash
1/3 cup karo light corn syrup or 1/3 cup dark corn syrup
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
Directions:
1. Slice the acorn squash in 1 1/2 inch wide slices and lay in microwave dish.
2. Place 1/4 cup water over squash and microwave about 5-7 minutes so it's partially done but still firm.
3. Preheat over to 375 degrees.
4. Now melt butter or margarine and add the orange juice and syrup.
5. Mix well.
6. Place par cooked squash in baking pan in a single layer.
7. A cookie sheet works well for this.
8. Baste with the liquid mixture and bake for 30-40 minutes.
9. Turn squash and baste about every 15 minutes.
