Baked Winter Squash
(contributed by Scott Johnson of Twinn Bridges Farm)
This recipe works with any variety of winter squash. Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and place squash, cavity side up, on a sheet pan. Make an equal part mixture of butter, brown sugar and Dijon mustard and spread liberally over the squash. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and put the squash in, adding a little water to the pan. Thirty minutes later, check to see if fork tender. When done, add some Maytag or Stilton blue cheese to the top of each squash and put back in oven just long enough for the cheese to melt in a little.
