2 acorn squash, med. size
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 c. real maple syrup
12 (3 inch) slices raw bacon

Cut squash in half and scrape out seeds. Combine remainder of ingredients except bacon and pour into the squash halves. Place 3 bacon slices on top of each squash half and place in a baking dish. Pour 1 inch boiling water in dish (so that squash is actually sitting in water). Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Yields 4.
