Glazed Maple Acorn Squash
Yield: Makes 4 or 5 servings
Although acorn squash is considered a winter squash, it is usually available year round. Look for golden acorn squash, which is similar in all respects to the typical green acorn squash, but its shell has a dramatic pumpkin color.

large acorn or golden acorn squash
1/4
cup water
2
tablespoons pure maple syrup
1
tablespoon margarine or butter, melted
1/4
teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.
Cut stem and blossom ends from squash. Cut squash crosswise into 4 or 5 equal slices. Discard seeds and membrane. Place water in 13X9-inch baking dish. Arrange squash in dish; cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes or until tender.
3.
Combine maple syrup, margarine and cinnamon in small bowl; mix well. Uncover squash; pour off water. Brush squash with syrup mixture, letting excess pool in center of squash rings.
4.
Return to oven; bake 10 minutes or until syrup mixture is bubbly.
