Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut squash in half crosswise and scoop out seeds.
Trim ends so the halves can stand level on a baking sheet.
Place on baking sheet, sprinkle each half with equal amounts of salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Equally divide 2 tbs of the butter between the 8 halves.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine the wild rice, broth of choice, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 cups water.
Over medium high heat bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally until done, around 45 minutes.
In a medium skillet heat the oil over medium heat.
Sauté the garlic, onions, celery and carrots until slightly tender crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the sage, thyme, parsley and sauté for 1 minute more, stirring well.
Remove from heat.
In a large bowl combine the cooked rice, veggies, pecans and cranberries.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Mound mixture equally into each of the baked 8 squash halves.
Equally divide the remaining butter and dot each stuffed squash half.
Lightly cover with foil and bake another 20 minutes to heat through.
