INGREDIENTS:
- 2 acorn squash or other small winter squash
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- dash nutmeg
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts
PREPARATION:
Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds; score the insides lightly with a sharp knife, but don't pierce the skin. Arrange squash, cut-side up, in a baking dish. Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Brush cut side of squash all over with the mixture then spoon the remaining mixture into each squash half. Place pan in oven and add about 1/4-inch of hot water to the pan. Bake for 60 minutes, basting several times.
Baste again and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts; bake for about 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until nicely glazed and browned.
Serves 4.
