Squash With Cranberries, Apples and Pears

By on

I love all types of squash. Spaghetti squash is a great pasta alternative. Butternut squash is excellent for making soups. Hubbard reminds me of my Mum as she made it at every Thanksgiving and buttercup is my husband’s favourite. Acorn squash is sometimes left out on my favourite lists but recently I have been cooking it more and more.

I love to stuff this amazing gourd as it makes it more into a meal that just a side dish. Recently I decided I wanted to make a stuffed squash for dessert instead of for dinner. My thoughts were to stuff it with apples and raisins, but then I thought why not cook up some cranberries, pears and apples together, add in some ginger and honey and use that as stuffing.

Guess what, it is divine as a main dish, for dessert or topped with nuts for breakfast

There is nothing like the taste of baked squash or pumpkin in the fall and winter season, and this recipe uses only a few ingredients and is so simple to make.

These healthy ingredients are

Cranberries- these little red bundles offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer health benefits. They are also a good source of vitamin C, E, K, fibre, manganese, cooper and pantothenic acid

Pears– packed full of antioxidants, fibre, vitamins and are easily digestible

Apples– high in phytonutrients and antioxidants, they help to reduce the risk of cancer, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease

Ginger– a natural remedy for nausea and tummy aches, it also is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and helps reduce pain

Honey– helps alleviate allergies, boosts memory is a couch suppressant, natural antibiotic and sleep aid

Acorn Squash– contains vitamin A, folate, thiamine, vitamin B-6 and is great source of vitamin C
