Recipe Introduction


Georgian times


List of Ingredients




1 acorn squash
Diced pears, apples or peaches
Chopped nuts
Raisins
Cherries or small berries
Brown sugar (or white sugar, honey or molasses)
Cinammon
Nutmeg
Ground cloves
Butter or margarine
Maple syrup



Recipe



1. Cut the squash in halves and scoop out the seeds. The seeds can be saved for roasting.
2. Using a knife, slice off a piece of the bottom so that the squash will sit on a flat surface and not roll over.
3. In a separate bowl, combine diced pears, apples or peaches. Add chopped nuts, raisins and some cherries and berries. Sprinkle in brown sugar or other sweetener such as white sugar, honey, or molasses, to your liking. Sprinkle in a little cinnamon, nutmeg and some ground cloves.
4. Mix the filling well and pack generously into the acorn squash. Be sure to pack the filling in tightly.
5. Put a pat of butter and a generous helping of maple syrup in each squash.
6. Fill a Dutch oven with just over an inch of water and gently lay the squash inside. The water in the bottom of the Dutch oven will keep the squash from burning and will heat the inside of the oven with hot steam.
7. Slowly cook about 45 minutes until squash is tender.
