Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash
- 1 cup Organic Raisins
- 1 cup Orange Juice

Method
- Soak raisins in the orange juice while preparing and cooking the squash. Cut the squash in half cross-wise. Scoop out and discard strings and seeds. Place cut side down in 1/2 inch of water in a baking dish. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove squash and drain remaining water. Place half of the soaked raisins with orange juice in each squash half, sprinkle with cinnamon, cover, and return to 375 oven for approximately 10 more minutes. ENJOY!
