Acorn Squash Stuffed with Apple Couscous

 

1 cup dry couscous

1 cup apple juice

1/4 cup prunes, pitted and chopped

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup dried apples

1/4 cup, apple juice concentrate, thawed

1/4 tsp. ground cardamom

1 tbsp. maple syrup

4 acorn squash, halved and seeded

1/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped, optional

 

Place couscous in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

Bring apple juice to a boil in a small saucepan and

pour over the couscous. Cover and set aside until the

juice is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in the

fruit, apple juice concentrate, cardamom and maple

syrup. Set aside. Steam squash halves until tender,

about 15 minutes. Drain and place on a baking sheet.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill squash halves with

the couscous mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Top with

pecans and serve.
