Ingredients:

Serving

2 medium acorn squash
3 cups fresh cranberries (or frozen )
3/4 cup apple juice, divided
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp walnuts, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut squash in half; remove seeds and fibers. Place cut side down on baking sheet and bake about 1 hour.
Combine cranberries, 1/2 cup apple juice, sugar, cloves and nutmeg. Cook over low heat until cranberry skins pop.
Combine remaining apple juice with cornstarch, mixing well. Gradually stir into cranberry mixture. Heat just until thickened.
Spoon cranberry mixture into squash halves and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Return to oven and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
To microwave: Cover squash halves with plastic wrap. Microwave on 100% power 12-18 minutes, until soft to touch.
Cook cranberry mixture on 100% power 8-12 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Fill squash halves and heat in oven as above, or microwave until heated through.
