- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

MAPLE-GLAZED ACORN SQUASH WITH CURRANTS
Steps:
- Spread the cavity of each squash half with about 1/2 teaspoon of the butter, sprinkle the halves with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange them, cut sides down, in a large baking pan. Add enough water to reach about 1/4 inch up the sides of the squash halves and bake the squash in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 30 minutes. While the squash is baking, in a small saucepan combine the remaining butter, the maple syrup, the allspice, the currants, and a pinch of salt and heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter is melted and the currants are plumped. Remove the squash from the oven, turn it cut sides up, and brush it generously with some of the maple mixture. Return the squash to the oven and bake it, brushing it with the maple mixture occasionally and adding more water to the pan as necessary to keep the bottom covered, for 20 to 30 minutes more, or until it is very tender. Season the squash with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for acorn squash that are about the size of a grapefruit, with a dark green or orange skin. The squash should be firm and free of blemishes.
- Prepare the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast the squash: Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, rum, and spices. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Glaze the squash: Brush the rum glaze over the roasted squash and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
Conclusion:
Rum glazed acorn squash is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for fall gatherings. The squash is roasted until tender and then glazed with a flavorful mixture of butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, rum, and spices. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with a hint of boozy warmth. Serve rum glazed acorn squash with your favorite roasted meats or poultry, or enjoy it as a standalone snack.
