Delicata Squash Stuffed with Dried Fruit and Nuts

Slightly modified from Melissa's.

Ingredients:

• 2 delicata squash cut in half, seeds and pulp removed
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 1/2 cups pears, peeled and diced small
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 cup bread crumbs

Combine all ingredients for stuffing mixture. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until squash is slightly soft. Remove squash from oven; carefully remove the inside flesh leaving about ½ inch of outside skin intact. Dice the squash into uniform pieces (approximately ¼ inch cubes) and add to stuffing mixture. Place mixture back into the 4 squash cavities. Return to oven, continue baking for 30 minutes or until squash is soft and topping is browned. Serve immediately.
