Baked Acorn Squash

1 acorn squash
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 tea. ground cinnamon
1 tea. vanilla extract or flavoring
Pin. of ground cloves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet and a baking dish.

Halve the squash lengthwise. Transfer the squash, cut side down, to the cookie sheet, and bake the squash until it is tender, about 45 min. Don\t turn off the oven. While the squash cooks, melt the butter, and stir in the remaining ingredients. Keep the mixture warm until it is needed.

Arrange the squash, cut sides up, in the baking dish. Spoon the butter and seasonings equally over the sections. Bake the squash another 15 min., until it is very soft. Serve the squash hot.
