Baked Acorn Squash

Cut your organic acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Bake your squash , flesh side down, in the oven (350 degrees) in a 1/4 cup of water until fully cooked; soft throughout. Warm a mixture of 1 cup of dried fruit cut into bite sized pieces in 1/2 a cup of brandy or wine. Spoon this mixture into each half of the squash. (try apricots, cranberries, raisins, goji berries, prunes ... you've got al kinds of options!) Serve warm. Alternatively - bake your squash flesh side up with grass fed butter and organic & fair trade brown sugar / maple syrup in the middle. Baked until soft and the syrup glazes. Great side dish! ~Lisa
