Next to my garden I have a compost pile where we put all our kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps. This summer I got a surprise - a huge squash vine started growing out of the pile. I had no idea what it was because I don't grow any vines. Then I saw the acorn squash growing and I was delighted! To date I've harvested 8 beautiful squash. Here's how I cook them:
Cut them in half, scoop out the seeds, nestle them in a glass baking pan.
In the centers put some brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans or walnuts, and a pat of butter. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. I make a pan full and refrigerate them.
I love this as a dinner accompaniment or a snack!
What do you do with acorn squash?
