Maple Glazed Acorn Squash With Currants Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 x acorn squash (each about 1 1/2 pounds), halved crosswise and the seeds and strings discarded
- 1/2 stk unsalted butter softened (1/4 c.)
- 1/3 c. pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp grnd allspice or possibly to taste
- 3 Tbsp. dry currants
Directions
- Spread the cavity of each squash half with about 1/2 tsp. of the butter, sprinkle the halves with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange them, cut sides down, in a large baking pan. Add in sufficient water to reach about 1/4 inch up the sides of the squash halves and bake the squash in the middle of a preheated 400F. oven for 30 min. While the squash is
- baking, in a small saucepan combine the remaining butter, the maple syrup,
- the allspice, the currants, and a healthy pinch of salt and heat the mix over moderately low heat, stirring, till the butter is melted and the currants
- are plumped. Remove the squash from the oven, turn it cut sides up, and brush it generously with some of the maple mix. Return the squash to the oven and bake it, brushing it with the maple mix occasionally and adding more water to the pan as necessary to keep the bottom covered, for 20 to 30 min more, or possibly till it is very tender. Season the squash with
- salt and pepper.
- Serves 6.
