Cranberry Sauce for Acorn Squash image

This recipe has been passed around the family for years. A pretty cranberry sauce replaces plain brown sugar as a topping for acorn squash. The squash may be cooked more quickly in the microwave by cooking it on high 5 minutes, cutting it in half, removing the seeds and cooking another 5 minutes, or until tender.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cranberry sauce turned out too tart. I think I might have added too much lemon juice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a few bags in my freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.
