Easy Winter Squash

We have been blessed with lots of winter squash this season in our CSA, but it's starting to pile up a little. I plan to use this simple method for cooking what I've got and freezing it for use to make pumpkin bread and soup this fall. We might have to eat a little before it goes into the freezer, though. It's so yummy!

Ingredients:
Winter squash (cook what you've got!)
Water
Local, raw honey
Cinnamon

Directions:

   1. Preheat oven to 425
   2. Slice squash in half lengthwise (you need a good, sharp knife to do this)
   3. Spoon out seeds and discard
   4. Place cut side down on oven safe dish or cookie sheet
   5. Add enough water to cover bottom of pan
   6. Place on middle rack of oven
   7. Set timer and check in 20 minutes. It's done when tender to a fork
   8. Remover from oven and let cool
   9. Place squash cut side up on a plate and drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon
  10. Enjoy!
