Honey Nut Acorn squash

Submitted by Bergy

"There are many ways to serve squash but this is one of my favorites. You may use other squash - you may even peel and cut the squash into bite size pieces, bake until soft, pour the honey mixture over and return to the oven for 5-10 mintes. Cut a thin slice off each half so the squash will sit nice and even"

Yummy filling that's just the right sweetness. I left mine in the oven about 20 minutes and it soaked into the flesh of the squash and turned a bit crackled. I loved it that way.

I forgot the Worcestershire sauce, next time I have to try putting it in! It was delicious without it, too, though :)
