Smoked Acorn Squash

How to make Smoked Acorn Squash Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 acorn squash
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot pepper jelly

Method:
Set up the cooker for indirect cooking at 300 degree F.

Cut the squash in half from stem to point. You need some muscles to do this. Remove and discard the seeds and pulp inside the acorn squash.

Pierce the skin a number of times with a knife and cook the squash in the microwave for 3 minutes to soften the squash a little.

Place the squash skin side down on the cool side of the grill and cook with indirect heat for 30 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the jelly. Stir to mix and keep warm.

Baste the squash with the butter/jelly mixture and wrap the squash in aluminum foil. Cook for 15 minutes. This will expedite the cooking process.

Unwrap the squash and baste again. Remove from the grill when tender.
