Barbecued Acorn Squash With A Brown Sugar Glaze And A Baked Apple Stuffing Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 x halved and quartered acorn squash
- 4 Tbsp. butter - (60ml)
- 1 x salt and Pepper
- 1/4 c. raisins - (60ml) Brandy to cover
- 1/4 c. brown sugar - (60ml)
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg - (2.5ml)
- 2 x peeled, cored and thinly sliced Golden brown Delicious apples
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 F - (225 C)
- Place the raisins in a bowl and submerge in brandy. Let the raisins soak for a minimum of 20 min.
- Halve the acorn squash and then quarter it. Using a paring knife remove the seeds and scruff, then separate the melon from the rind much as you would do with a slice of melon. Place each quarter squash on a piece of tin foil. Generously lather the squash quarters in 2 Tbsp. of room temp butter, a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg and take to the oven to bake till soft and tender. Place a quarter on top of its rind on a plate and position them beside the stove top for easy access.
- Heat the remainder of the butter in a skillet. Add in brown sugar and nutmeg. When the sugar has melted, add in the apple slices. Turn the heat to low and slowly cook the apples till they are caramelized.
- Add in the raisins and brandy and flambe. Before the flames die, carefully spoon some sugared apple; brandy/raising sauce on top of each quarter of roasted squash.
