Acorn Squash With Raisin Sauce

---

The flavors of this squash just scream fall to me. I originally put this sauce on a small carnival squash, but it went really well with acorn squash, which serves a few more.

---

Steps

---

Cut squash in half lengthwise and discard seeds.

---

Set squash halves , cut-side up , in an 8x8x2 inch microwavable baking dish.

---

Pour 1 / 4 cup water into dish , cover , and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

---

After squash is done fill cavity of each squash with half of the raisins.

---

Combine remaining ingredients , stirring to dissolve cornstarch.

---

Pour half of mixture into each squash cavity.

---

Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes , until squash is fork tender and liquid thickened.

---

Alternately , you could bake this squash in a 350 oven for about 25 , add the raisins and remaining ingredients and bake for 10 more minutes , or until fork tender.
