I found this recipe in 2005 Taste of Home Annual Recipes. It was submitted by J Maynihan from Lakeville, MInn. Easy recipe that is very flavorful. There is a similar Taste of Home recipe posted on this site, but this recipe is slightly different.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small acorn squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1 cup orange juice

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cut squash in half; discard seeds. Place squash cut-side down in a 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan; add 1/3 in of hot water. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until syrupy, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain water from baking pan; turn squash cut side up. Pour about 2 T. orange glaze into each squash half. bake 25-30 minutes longer or until squash is tender.

I don't have any acorn squash. Can I use another type of squash in this recipe?

I'm allergic to oranges. Can I substitute another citrus fruit in this recipe?
