POM-Glazed Baked Squash and Apples Recipe

POM-Glazed Baked Squash and Apples Recipe

  • 1/2 cup juice from large POM Wonderful® Pomegranate, or POM Wonderful® 100% Pomegranate Juice
  • 2 1/2 pounds butternut squash
  • 4 apples (McIntosh, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Gala or Braeburn)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Garnish:
  • 1/4 cup arils from large POM Wonderful® Pomegranate
  1. Prepare garnish – Score fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate under water to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze any remaining arils for another use.)
  2. Prepare fresh pomegranate juice.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Peel butternut squash and cut into 2-inch chunks. Arrange in a buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Cut apples into quarters or slices (peeled or skin on); add to baking dish.
  5. Mix together light brown sugar and pomegranate juice. Spread on squash and apples. Drizzle with butter.
  6. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until soft. Garnish with arils.
