LEMONY ACORN SLICES

2 large acorn squash (about 2-1/4 lb. each)

1 cup plus 2 tablespoon water, divided

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Lemon wedges & fresh mint, optional

 

Wash the squash.  Cut in half lengthwise; remove and discard the seeds and membrane.  Cut each half crosswise into 1/2 in. slices: discard ends.  Place slices in a large skillet.  Add 1 cup water; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.  Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and remaining water.  Cook over medium heat until sugar melts and syrup is golden, stirring occasionally.  Remove from the heat: carefully add lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper.  Cook and stir over low heat until butter melts.  Place squash on a serving plate: top with syrup.  Garnish with lemon and mint if desired.

Yield:  6 servings
