  • 1 buttercup squash (2 to 2 1/2 lb)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 tablespoons peach or apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

    Heat oven to 350°F. Cut squash into quarters; remove seeds and fibers. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, place squash, cut sides up.

    Bake uncovered 45 to 60 minutes or until tender.

  • Depending on where you live,varieties of squash can vary. Two acron squash (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each) can be substituted for the buttercup squash. Certain flavors are destined for one another, and so it is with grilled pork chops, as pork roast or a pork tenderloin-any one of them would be perfect to go along with this sweetly spiced squash.
