It’s a real treat digging into tender baked squash with a buttery apricot sauce. Natural fruit preserves add sweetness, and ginger makes it savory without unwanted calories.—Trisha Kruse, Eagle, ID

I'm not a big fan of squash, but I decided I'd try this recipe because all of the ingredients looked tasty. I tried it, I didn't like it 'cause I just don't like the taste of acorn squash. My husband tried it, also not a fan of squash, but he liked it. I suggest you try it once and decide for yourself!

I'm not sure what the pepper adds to this recipe. If I made it again, I would not use it.

I think it needs a little more time in the oven, but it was delicious!

wonderful..the bit of soy sauce(that I nearly left out) adds an unexpected zip to the recipe.

This was really good. I'm making it again this week. I did not have apricot preserves so I used peach. Yummy!

Great recipe. Not your ordinary way to fix acorn squash, but I had all the ingredients and it was delicious.

I loved it! I never had acorn squash before, but I'll be making it many times. Substituted coconut oil for the butter and used reg. soy sauce, also grated 1/2 tsp. fresh ginger instead of the ground and it was just delicious.
