INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Spread the cavity of each squash half with about 1/2 teaspoon of the
butter, sprinkle the halves with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange
them, cut sides down, in a large baking pan. Add enough water to reach
about 1/4 inch up the sides of the squash halves and bake the squash
in the middle of a preheated 400F. oven for 30 minutes. While the
squash is baking, in a small saucepan combine the remaining butter,
the maple syrup, the allspice, the currants, and a pinch of salt and
heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter
is melted and the currants are plumped. Remove the squash from the
oven, turn it cut sides up, and brush it generously with some of the
maple mixture. Return the squash to the oven and bake it, brushing it
with the maple mixture occasionally and adding more water to the pan
as necessary to keep the bottom covered, for 20 to 30 minutes more,  or
until it is very tender. Season the squash with salt and pepper.
