Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash - medium size
- GLAZE:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter (or margarine) - melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
With a light brown sugar glaze, the flavor of this squash really blossoms!
Directions
- Cut squash in half and remove seeds and stringy fibers. Pierce the skin in several places
and place in a microwave-safe baking dish or bowl with cut sides down or facing the sides of the
bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small opening along the edge to allow steam to escape.
Cook in the microwave on high for 10 to 20 minutes. Pierce with a fork to check for
doneness. Cook for additional time if not at desired tenderness.
GLAZE: While squash is
cooking, mix glaze by adding melted butter, brown sugar and salt. Cook in the microwave until
ingredients are well combined and have started to thicken.
When squash is done in the
microwave, place the halves cut side up on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the glaze mixture over
the edges and in the cavity of the squash halves. Place the squash under the broiler for 5 to 7
