This is a lovely way to do squash. I don't care for brandy so I used run in it's place. That bit of rum and the orange flavor give this something extra. I made a 2 serving size (I had a small squash) and the recipe only ask for 1/8 tsp of cinnamon- I used 3/4 tsp and in my opinion the dish benefited from the increase. The topping was a very nice touch. I loved the pecans. It was really tasty with a pork roast. Made for Photo Tag.Reply
