Slow Cooker
Spiced Acorn Squash
Acorn squash halves filled with butter, brown sugar, and warm spices, slow-cooked until tender. A perfect fall side or light dessert.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine 1/2 cup water
Directions:
- Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; spoon into the squash halves. Sprinkle with raisins. Top each with 1 tablespoon of butter. Wrap each squash half individually in heavy-duty foil; seal tightly. Pour water into a slow cooker. Place the squash, cut side up, in slow cooker (packets may be stacked). Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until the squash is tender. Open foil packets carefully to allow steam to escape.
