Acorn Squash Tip

Remove the Skin, Seeds, and Fibers

The skin of the acorn squash can be removed using a vegetable peeler, although the ridges can sometimes make the task a bit of a challenge. The seeds and fibers in the center of the squash are easily removed with a spoon.

Acorn Squash Tip

Maple Syrup

Maple syrup is produced from the sap of the black maple and sugar maple trees. The thin syrup has a distinctive flavor. Maple syrups are graded for quality. As a little syrup goes a long way, it is worth the price and effort to find a high quality syrup.
