Acorn Squash With Pineapple Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut squash in half and remove seeds.
• Place each half, cut-side down on a nonstick baking sheet.
• Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until soft and tender.
• Meanwhile mix pineapple with spices and set aside.
• Now place squash into a baking dish.
• Divide pineapple mixture in half and place inside squash cavity.
• Return to oven and bake 5 more minutes or until pineapple mixture bubbles.
• Serve hot.
• You may want to try half the amount of spices first, then add the rest if needed.

Steps:

• To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1 inch chunks.
• Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples. Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
• Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power, until tender. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the squash cut side up in a baking dish with ½ inch of water in the bottom of the pan.
• Cover the dish and bake for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon, pineapple, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
• When squash has been cooked, remove from oven.
• Let cool down for 10 minutes.
• Carefully scoop out the pulp from the halves and combine with the pineapple and cinnamon mixture.
• Replace the squash into the shells and return to the oven and bake for 7 minutes more until pineapple is hot and bubbly.
