Acorn squash rings are baked with orange juice and seasonings.

  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Trim ends from squash; cut into crosswise slices 1/4-inch thick. Place slices in a large lightly buttered shallow baking pan; add orange juice. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, lemon peel and salt; pour over squash rings. Bake, uncovered, about 15 to 20 minutes longer, basting occasionally, until acorn squash is done and nicely glazed. Acorn squash recipe serves 8 to 10.

"I made this recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner. I doubled the amount of squash and it was not too sweet. My family loved it. My nephew is a chef at an upscale restaurant. He asked for the recipe."
