Microwaving this winter squash helps soften its tough rind making it easier to slice into serving pieces.

Fruit-Glazed Acorn Squash

2 small acorn squash (about 2 pounds) 3/4 cup pineapple juice 3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon melted butter 1/4 cup golden raisins or currents 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Wash and dry squash well. Pierce squash several times with a fork.
Place squash on two layers of paper towels. Microwave, uncovered, on high 5 to 6 minutes or until slightly tender. Let cool.
Cut ends off squash and discard seeds. Slice into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange squash slices in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well. Pour over squash slices.
Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes or until squash is tender, basting frequently with glaze.
