Cooking Winter Squashes

1. 1

   Cut open squash (cut in half or into chunks), scoop out seeds.

2. 2

   Lay cut-side down in a baking pan.

3. 3

   Peel and core 1 or 2 apples; slice, and scatter the apple slices in with the squash.

4. 4

   Scatter a handful or two of cranberries around with the squash and apples.

5. 5

   If you like your squash a bit moist, add a tablespoon or two of water to the bottom of the pan (I don't do this; my husband does).

6. 6

   Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake at 400F (200C) for 1 hour, or until a fork stuck into the hard outside shell meets with no resistance.

7. 7

   Scoop the squash out of the rind, scoop up a bit of the apple and cranberries on the side, and enjoy!
