Ingredients:

Serving

2 (1 lb) acorn squash
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
3 tbsp orange juice
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

With a fork, pierce the whole squash on each side. Place on a paper towel in the microwave oven. Microwave 12 to 15 minutes or until fork-tender, turning over after 5 minutes.
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a one-quart casserole, combine the remaining ingredients. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until berries have popped, stirring after 2 minutes.
Cut the squash in half. Remove the seeds. Place cut side up on a microwave-proof platter. Spoon cranberry mixture into the hollowed-out squash.
Cover with waxed paper and microwave for 1 to 3 minutes to heat through.
