OK...I did a search first and did not see this posted yet.... I can't wait to try it. Let us know if you try it and if you made as is or made any adjustments to it.
Butternut Squash Stuffed with Spiced Pears
Yield 2-4 Servings
This mixture of savory and sweet flavors could be either the main dish for the Main Course of the Meal or a distinguished side dish.
1 medium butternut squash or two small ones, (about 2 pounds)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 pears cored and diced (some may need to peel as well)
1 Tablespoon apple juice
2 Tablespoons sweetener of choice (i.e. sugar, brownsugar, honey, maple syrup)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root or 1/8 teaspoon dried ginger
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of all spice or cloves
2 Tablespoon roasted slivered almonds
1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Wash the squash, cut it in half, and scoop out the seeds. Bake, cut side down, in a shallow baking pan until almost tender (about 40 minutes).
3. While the squash is baking, sauté the onion in the oil until transparent, then mix in the pears, apple juice, sweetener, ginger root, cinnamon, and allspice. Cook gently for three to four minutes. Spoon the filling into the scooped out hole in the center of the squash, and sprinkle with the slivered almonds. Return to the oven for about 10 more minutes or until the squash is tender.

OMG, this looks heavenly! The ingredients remind me of a squash and apple casserole my mother makes, except hers is made with cubed squash. Unfortunately it's also full of butter and is NOT IBS friendly. I can't wait to try this!

I think I'm gonna make this one soon after all this time (4 years  ).... I've got some honey from Trader Joes that is just yummy that would be great on this as the sweetener...and the FALL weather has arrived here in Seattle so I'm feeling a little squashy now!
