Ingredients

2 medium acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds each)

3/4 pound ground pork

1/4 cup sliced ramps or leeks

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup uncooked wild rice

1 cup beef broth

3/4 teaspoon rosemary leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees

prepare squash, cutting in half, and cook as directed below; cool slightly

Cook pork and onions in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until pork is no longer pink; drain.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes or until wild rice is tender and broth is absorbed

If wells in squash halves are shallow, scoop out enough pulp to leave 1/2-inch thickness. (Use pulp for another use.) Place squash, cut sides up, in rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches

Spoon pork mixture into squash halves. Cover and bake about 35 minutes or until heated through

Awesome, I can't get the ramps here ....but I can sure get ahold of a bunch of leeks. I'm having a celebration here next weekend and Im going to add this dish. I love stuffed acorn squash, but have never added a dried fruit like cranberries. Who'd thought that a wild grass would be so darn tasty. I always used brown rice in this dish wild will be so much better.
