Description
Acorn is a winter squash that can be stored for many months, sometimes all the way through winter. Its yellow-orange flesh has a mildly sweet and nutty flavor. It’s usually baked but can also be microwaved, sauteed or steamed and served as a side dish or stuffed with rice, meat or vegetable mixtures. If a sweeter dish is desired, maple syrup or brown sugar is sometimes used to fill the halves prior to baking.
