Baked Acorn Squash with Maple & Rosemary

Written By: Chris - Oct• 14•12

This is a sweet and savory way to prepare squash.  My friend Jen brought over a bunch of fresh garden tomatoes and several squash for us to enjoy last week.  Bill and I really like all types of squash, but prefer the Acorn variety in particular.  It is a  winter squash with distinctive longitudinal ridges and sweet, yellow-orange flesh.  Although considered a winter squash, it belongs to the same species as all summer squashes (including zucchini and  yellow crookneck squash) download from youtube as mp3. The most common variety is dark green in color, often with a single splotch of orange on the side or top.  As the name suggests, its shape resembles that of an acorn.  Acorn squashes typically weigh one to two pounds and are between four and seven inches long.  This squash is good and hardy allowing you to save throughout the winter in storage.  You can usually keep it several months in a cool dry location such as a cold cellar.  This variety of squash is a good source of dietary fiber and potassium, as well as smaller amounts of vitamins C & B, Magnesium forge herunterladen.
