Orange-Glazed Acorn Squash image

I found this recipe in 2005 Taste of Home Annual Recipes. It was submitted by J Maynihan from Lakeville, MInn. Easy recipe that is very flavorful. There is a similar Taste of Home recipe posted on this site, but this recipe is slightly different.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to make it my own. I usually add some chopped pecans and cranberries to the glaze.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squash turned out mushy. I think I cooked it for too long.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash. I had some roasted squash from a previous meal and it worked perfectly.

I found that the squash took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to add an extra 15 minutes.
