Baked Acorn Squash With Brown Sugar And Butter

There are probably more ways to cook squash than there are varieties of squash out there, but one of my favorites will always be baked this way.

We make ours with homemade butter, homemade brown sugar, and natural maple syrup. I gotta say, when it comes to this particular squash, I think it's hard to beat.
