How to Make Acorn Squash N Citrus
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Halve and clean 1 medium acorn squash (approximately 1.5 lbs). Remove seeds and stringy parts.
- Brush the cut sides of the squash generously with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
- Place squash halves cut-side down on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- While the squash is baking, prepare the citrus filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup orange marmalade (or orange-ginger marmalade), 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger, 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- After 40 minutes, carefully flip the squash halves. Spoon the citrus mixture evenly into the cavities of the baked squash.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh orange zest (optional). Serve warm.
