How Do You Prepare Acorn Squash For Thanksgiving?
Here is a very festive way to add a lovely side item to the Thanksgiving dinner table! The seasonably available acorn squash will astound your guests with the red cranberry relish filling. This dish is great served warm, and cold with leftovers also. Step 1 Cut acorn squashes in half, clean out inside, and place in a baking dish with 1/2 cup of water. A large glass pyrex baking dish or large roasting pan works well. Step 2 Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes (they should have softened up). Step 3 While the acorn is baking, prepare fresh cranberry sauce. There is usually a basic recipe on packages of fresh cranberries, and that will work just fine. Step 4 Fill each acorn squash half with the cranberry mixture and serve. You can put the filled squash back into the oven to warm the dish if desired. The beauty of this dish is the presentation of a lovely filled acorn squash.
