Spicy Stuffed Acorn Squash image

I absolutely love acorn squash, but find most recipes for it to be much too sugary for me; after all, the acorn squash is naturally sweet on its own. This recipes adds no sugar--only a little apple juice for sweetness--and uses coriander, curry and a bit of cayenne to compliment the flavor of the squash. Yum! From The Vegetarian Gourmet.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I made a few modifications to this recipe. I used mild salsa instead of hot salsa and I added some chopped cilantro to the filling. The squash turned out great and the filling was very tasty.
