Ingredients

1 medium acorn squash

dried cranberries

chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon brown sugar or 2 teaspoons maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 and follow these steps:

1. cut top off squash and scoop out seeds

2. poke the sides with a fork

3. mix sugar and butter

4. add cranberries and walnuts until even with top edge

5. top with the butter and sugar mixture

6. place in a shallow pan

This recipe is for one squash, but make as many as you like. They’re great as a side with a lean meat like a turkey or chicken breast. They’re also terrific on their own.
