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.
Serves 6.
