CSA 2020 - Week #17

Happy Fall!  We're excited for this week's acorn squash...the first winter squash of the season!  It cooks up really easily - see instructions below.

This week's harvest

Acorn Squash
The acorns are the first of the winter squash that's ready to harvest.  You can roast them whole, yes, whole, sitting on a pan in the oven.  When they're tender, just cut open and scoop out the seeds. I like to serve the flesh mashed with butter and salt & pepper.  The perfect taste of fall!
