ACORN SQUASH WITH BUTTER PECAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Put face down on cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup and pecans. Cook until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove squash from oven and scoop out the meat into a 13 x 9 casserole dish or equivalent. Spoon pecan mixture over squash, cover and return to oven for 15 minutes or until squash is tender, spooning the pecan mixture occasionally over the squash.
