WITH the glaze of maple syrup and brown sugar, the squash becomes pleasantly sweet. This is comfort food, easy to prepare and a tasty pairing with a pork entrée.

These were pretty good. They weren't spectacular but they were good. We used more than one acorn squash and then cut them up into pieces when we were done so that a lot of people could enjoy them.
