Description

Elegant, delicious and made completely in the microwave!

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Acorn Squash (1 Lb Each)
  • 3 Tablespoons Orange Juice Or Orange Marmalade
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Curd Or Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Fresh Or Frozen Cranberries
  • ½ cups Chopped Pecans, Toasted
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter

Preparation

Pierce whole squash with a fork on all sides. Place on paper towels and microwave for 12-15 minutes until fork tender, turning after 5 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe container, combine orange, lemon, sugar, cranberries, maple syrup and butter. Microwave for 3 minutes or until cranberries pop, stirring after.

After squash has cooled down, cut in half and scoop out seeds with a spoon. Place cut side up on a plate and fill with equal parts of cranberry mixture. Microwave for 2 minutes to heat through, then sprinkle with toasted pecans before serving.

This was a great combination of flavors. Rather than microwave it, I roasted the assembled squash at 400 for an hour with a little water in the pan. Everyone loved it and it made a beautiful presentation.
