Making 100% MAPLE SYRUP Baked Squash .....The Sap is Running....Time to Cook With this Liquid Gold
This evening for supper I wanted to make a treat that many Canadians enjoy. Squash baked with Maple Syrup. I recently sent @daddykirbs a small bottle of Maple Syrup and told him about using it with squash and he asked for a demonstration so here it is.
First you Need your Typical Acorn Squash. I like to wash mine fist before cooking.
Then you cut it as you would in preparing any squash.
Then you clean them out. I like to save all the seeds and dry them out for summer planting. But that is another post entirely.
Next we take butter and smother it all over, I use a spoon and spread it around.
Then I take some of that wonderful Liquid Gold and put some about half a cup in a small bowl and put in the microwave for a minute, makes it easier to spread when it is heated.
Then you pour it all over the the top and the insides forming a small pool in the bottom.
Then you put them into the oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, or until soft to insert a fork. Let cool and scoop out the squash from the rind of the shell.
And there you have it. A sweet tasting squash to enjoy for supper. Just dab a little butter on top while it is still warm, and serve.
Happy "Maple Syrup Squash" Trails
That looks tasty. As far as i'm concerned you can put maple syrup on anything.
yum! I agree, it really is very good - and everyone should try it at least once! I know what I'll be making tomorrow because seeing your photos has given me a craving.
That looks different. Never seen an acorn squash before.
Really. Acorn squash is pretty popular around these parts. I grow them in my garden.
Nope Never seen one, butternut squash is the only one I've seen.
It's been a long time since I've had acorn squash! I've never tried cooking them before, now I have an idea of how to do it.
I forgot about the sap rising at this time of year, I'm guessing the local sap gatherers are rather busy right now. :-)
So envious. I love maple syrup, but it's so expensive for the real deal here in Australia!
