Ingredients

  • 1 Acorn squash
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Cranberries fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Wash and slice acorn squash in half, remove the seeds, and scrape clean.
  • Slice off a small amount on the underside if needed to have the squash sit properly. Poke holes in the flesh with a fork.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon, add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar to each half.
  • Add about a dozen cranberries to each half. Wrap the halves individually and tightly with foil.
  • Repeat with more squash if needed. If you have a large amount of other food, reserve 1/4 squash per person if less than 1/3 per person.
  • Bake for 1 hour until the squash is very tender.
  • Carefully unwrap the foil and slice each half in thirds or quarters and divide cranberries among each slice.
