Delicata Squash Stuffed

Summer Hill's Note:

I made this up from what I had on hand and inspiration from other recipes. It's very pretty and would do well for serving guests and family alike. My dw LOVED it and requested I copy it down before she got past the first bite.

• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-6

Yield: 2.0 Halves

• 1 delicata squash
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• ½ cup golden raisin
• ½ cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped dried apple
• 1 orange , peeled and cut up
• 4 -6 walnuts , chopped fine
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions:

1. Cut squash in half length wise, and scoop out seeds. Place upside down on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes (or until fork easily pierces flesh).
2. Combine: Rice, orange, raisins, apple, walnuts and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly and stuff into squash halves.
3. Pop back into oven to heat thru, about 10-20 minutes (depending how long you've had the squash out of the oven).
4. Be careful not to over heat as the rice will dry out! I just pop it back in to the oven, turned off, till I'm ready to serve it.
5. Cut into sections and serve.
