This is such an easy and tasty way to prepare any squash. I could see it working for many types. I only used 1 tbsp apricot jam in each half and it was delicious - 02 Oct 2012
This recipe was well received at our Thanksgiving dinner. I did make some changes for ease of serving a crowd. After I halving the squash and removing the seeds, I sliced each half into quarter inch slices using an electric knife (amazingly easy!). Then I arranged the slices in a single layer on parchment lined baking sheets and baked at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. I removed them from the oven and brushed with the apricot preserve/butter mixture and slipped the baking sheet under the broiler for a couple of minutes, or until brown. - 24 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Boy did I love this. Really easy and delicious. Used light apricot preserves and left out the butter -- didn't matter a bit. Still very sweet and delicious. I'll definately make this again! - 26 Oct 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
