Acorn Squash Tip
Checking Squash for Ripeness

Always check the outer skin color of your squash to see if it is mature. Secondly, if you cannot penetrate the outer skin with your fingernail the squash is ripe.


Acorn Squash Tip
Apple

When making baked apple desserts, the variety of apple plays a role in how well the apple will hold up when baked. In this squash dish, the apple selection is not as critical, and can be any apple you choose, perhaps your favorite eating apple.
