Candied Acorn Squash recipe

4 servings

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

1/4 cup butter, divided

1/4 cup packed brown sugar, divided

Place both halves of the squash cut side up on a microwave-safe plate or dish.

Put 2 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar into the cavity of each half.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes in the microwave on full power.

Rotate the squash a couple of times to ensure even cooking.

When the flesh is soft, scoop out soft flesh with the sugar and butter, and place it in a bowl.

Mash it a little to blend the ingredients.

Serve in a bowl, or your could even serve it in the shells.
