I fixed this for dinner tonight. Yummy, yummy. I used brown sugar substitute since I can't have sugar and added a few chopped pecans and raisins as well. I'll be fixing this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

Yum, I added golden rasions and pecans. Would also be good with some apples. Just the right amt. of sugar!

Was very good although I must say the spices were just a little strong. Guess I am more of a salt, butter and pepper guy with my squash. If you like the spices it is very good. Thanks for the recipe.
