Honey-Kissed Acorn Squash

Happy Thanksgiving! Super quick recipe to share today that is PERFECT to add to your Thanksgiving menu. I found the Honey-Kissed Acorn Squash recipe earlier this Fall, and made this about 12 times already. The squash is super tender and the filling isn't too sweet and complements the squash perfectly.

Honey-Kissed Acorn Squash

(Source: Gooseberry Patch Recipe Book)

2 acorn squash, halved lengthwise and seeded (I used a whole Kabocha squash)*

8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained (I used a 16 oz can)

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup butter, melted

Optional: ground nutmeg

Place squash halves, cut-side up, in a microwave-safe dish; microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Combine pineapple and next 4 ingredients, spoon into squash halves. Microwave on high 30 to 45 seconds or until thoroughly heated and lightly glazed.** Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired. 

Note: 

* I usually keep mine whole until I'm about to serve it to people. 

** Instead of microwaving on high for 30 to 45 seconds, I baked mine in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
