    Baked Squash with Apples and Cranberries

     

    Ingredients:


    ·         Acorn squash (about 2 to 2½ lbs total)

    ·         Nonstick cooking spray

    ·         1½ cups fresh cranberries

    ·         ⅓ cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

    ·         3 tablespoons brown sugar

    ·         1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel

    ·         ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

    ·         medium tart apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch-thick slices

    ·         2 tablespoons maple-flavored syrup

    ·         2  tablespoons chopped, toasted pecans


     

    Directions:

    ·         Cut squash crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Remove seeds and strings. Lightly coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange squash slices in baking pan, overlapping slightly, if necessary. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven 25 to 30 minutes or until squash is tender, turning once during baking.

    ·         Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine the cranberries, apple juice concentrate, brown sugar, orange peel, and cloves. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in apples. Simmer, covered, for 7 minutes more or just until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in maple syrup.

    ·         To serve, arrange squash slices on plate. Spoon the apple mixture over the squash pieces.

    ·         Sprinkle with pecans.
