      Title: TWO WAYS WITH ACORN SQUASH
 Categories: Vegetables
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      4 md Acorn squash
      8 tb Unsalted butter; softened
      1 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1/2 c  Real maple syrup

MMMMM----------------------FOR A VEGETABLE---------------------------
      4 sl Bacon; cut in quarters

MMMMM------------------------FOR TIMBALES-----------------------------
      2    Eggs
 
  Can't make up your mind how fancy to get? Here are 2 presentations of
  this tasty squash--one homey and one for "dress-up."
  
  PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Bring 1 quart water to a simmer. Cut squash in
  half horizontally and clean insides. Place cut-side down in a
  low-sided baking dish, fill with simmering water to about 1 inch.
  Bake 20 minutes. AS A TRADITIONAL VEGETABLE: Combine butter, spices
  and maple syrup. Turn squash over and fill with the butter mixture.
  Top with bacon slices, crossed. Return to oven and cook until the tip
  of a sharp knife easily pierces the flesh, about 30-40 minutes. Serve
  in shell. AS TIMBALES: Turn the squash over after the first 20
  minutes in the oven and add 1 tablespoon of butter to each half. Bake
  until they can easily be pierced with a sharp knife, about 30-40
  minutes. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, reserving
  the shells. Beat in remaining ingredients and eggs. Place mixture
  into shells or timbales, and return to oven for 20-25 minutes or
  until set.
