4.5 Stars, but I do not understand why the recipe calls for making twice as much squash as needed. I did like the honey mixture just as well as the regular brown sugar mix I had been using and it's probably healthier. I used an entire recipe of filling for 2 squash (4 halves).

I was looking for something different than the usual butter and brown sugar. This was an amazing recipe. The combo of cinnamon, ginger, and squash was really great. I made it easier on myself by cooking the squash in my toaster oven. That cut the time in half. It also made it easier to cut since it was already cooked. Then I heated up the other ingredients in the microwave and split them between the two halves (I only made one squash). I'll definitely make this again.

I thought this had a nice flavor. I don't really have anything to compare it to because I have never baked an acorn squash. A sticker on my squash said to microwave one minute and then cut in half. My microwave is kind of small so I did 2 minutes. It did make it much easier to cut in half. I lined my baking sheet with foil so clean-up was easy to. I couldn't understand the point of dumping off any of the flavored butter? It only came out to be about 1/2 Tblsp of butter and honey per half. I actually poked a few holes and let it sink into the other layers of the acorn squash, after it was done, and while it cooled. It gave it a nice flavor. I just mashed mine in the acorn squash as I only made enough for dinner. I used the calculate button to change it to one, or 2 acorn halves, and it presented no problem with the recipe.

YUM!! Wow, I've never had acorn squash before, and this is amazing. You can't taste either spice too much, its just enough. My family adored this.

This wasn't enough to convert my kids into squash lovers, but they didn't make any faces either. DH and I liked it quite a bit. I added the zest from half of a lemon to the honey-butter sauce before baking, gave the flavors a little more brightness.

Just scrumptious. We really loved the flavor of the cinnamon and ginger combined with the butter and honey. The timing was perfect. Done to a turn and better than dessert although it was not overly sweet. Just right. Gona serve this on Thanksgiving!!

I have made this before but without the ginger, added a nice little zing. I use smaller amounts of honey and butter and put about a tsp. of each in every 1/2 comes out great.

This recipe is a great way to prepare acorn squash. I generally only make one acorn squash at a time so I adjust the ingredients accordingly. I put both halves into a small dish with about an inch of water at the bottom and I find this cuts down on the cooking time considerably. It is very easy to adjust the ingredients to your liking, I don't even measure anymore, just put in what seems right. For instance, I don't use much butter (or margarine) but I love the honey and spices. I spoon the syrup over the cut edges of the squash as it cooks and it turns out soft and sweet, a very nice side dish.
