RAISIN-SAUCED SQUASH 1 small winter squash 3/4 c. apricot nectar (may substitute orange juice for a change) 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch 1/8 tsp. allspice 1/3 c. raisins Pierce the whole squash with a fork several times (to allow for steam vents). Place in a 10 x 6 x 2-inch baking dish. Microwave, uncovered, on High for 7 to 10 minutes. Turn the squash once during that time. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to allow for better handling. Meanwhile, in a 2 cup measure, stir together apricot juice, cornstarch and allspice. Micro- wave on High for 2 to 3 minutes or until the apricot mixture is thickened (need to stir every 30 seconds to keep smooth). Stir the raisins into the apricot mixture; set aside. Use a towel as a gripper when cutting the squash in 1 inch thick slices. Discard the seeds and the stem ends. Return slices to dish. Pour raisin mixture over squash. Microwave, uncovered, on High for 1 to 2 minutes. Makes 2 servings.
