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.
