I absolutely love acorn squash, but find most recipes for it to be much too sugary for me; after all, the acorn squash is naturally sweet on its own. This recipes adds no sugar--only a little apple juice for sweetness--and uses coriander, curry and a bit of cayenne to compliment the flavor of the squash. Yum! From The Vegetarian Gourmet.
