Easiest Acorn Squash

So, in case you noticed the two acorn squash halves in the background of the soup picture...  We've been getting fresh squash in our CSA deliveries the past four weeks.  And, it was my turn for Acorn, so I broke out an oldie but an EASY!

"Roasted" squash in 7 minutes flat...

Easiest Acorn Squash

Ingredients
1 acorn squash, halved and seeds scraped out and removed
2 tbsp margarine
2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions
Lay both halves of the acorn squash with the cavity facing up.  Use 1 tbsp of margarine on each half, and spread around the cavity.  Drizzle 1 tbsp maple syrup on each half, and cover with plastic wrap tightly.  Put both halves in the microwave and microwave on high for 7 minutes.   Remove from microwave carefully (they'll be really hot!), and cut the saran wrap from around the squash.  Place each half in it's own bowl.  Serve in the bowl, and use a fork to scrape the squash from the skin and into the melted butter and maple syrup to eat!

Mark was scared to death of it at first, but ended up raving about it.  I think we'll have to get more acorn squash...  :)
