Cranberry Sauce for Acorn Squash image

This recipe has been passed around the family for years. A pretty cranberry sauce replaces plain brown sugar as a topping for acorn squash. The squash may be cooked more quickly in the microwave by cooking it on high 5 minutes, cutting it in half, removing the seeds and cooking another 5 minutes, or until tender.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a few bags in the freezer and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this sauce. It's not too tart and the sweetness of the maple syrup balances it out perfectly.
