4Medium-sized acorn squash
16teaspoonsHoney
8tablespoonsButter or margarine
Fresh ground pepper to season

Directions

Slice the squash in half crosswise and scoop out the pulp and seeds.

Trim the bottoms, if necessary, so that the quash will stand hollow side up.

Place 2 teaspoons honey in the hollow of each squash, then add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine to each and a twist or two of fresh ground pepper.

Place squash in a large, shallow baking pan and bake, uncovered, in a moderate oven, 350 degrees, for about 2½ hours or until the squash are tender.
