  A Christmas favorite. Cut each squash in half; remove seeds and
  fibers. Arrange the halves, cut side up in a large shallow baking
  pan. In a small bowl, blend together the syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg,

  hollow of each squash. Top with a piece of bacon. Add boiling water
  to pan, about 1 inch deep. Bake in a preheated 350f oven until
  tender, about 1 hour.
