07.14.2023 Gourmet, Pork
These smoky maple squash and sausage wraps are filled with nutty sweetness from an acorn squash puree and a savory filling of maple sausage links. Then they’re wrapped in a flour tortilla and finished with spiralized bacon. They are glazed with a hot pepper peach bourbon sauce that gives a sweet, spicy, earthy caramelized finish.

Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise (from stem to stem). Using a large spoon, remove the seeds from the inside of each half. Rub the exposed squash with olive oil and place on a heavy sheet pan, oiled side down. Cook for 30 – 40 minutes until fork tender. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.1 medium acorn squash

Bake the bacon-wrapped sausages for 25 to 30 minutes until the sausages are fully cooked, the bacon is crispy and the sauce is caramelized.

Notes
Sauce: If you like sweet and hot sauce, add a second basting five minutes before taking them out of the oven. Place the oven on low broil and let it do its thing. Keep a close eye on them so the sugary sauce doesn’t burn.
