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, cloves, salt,
and butter. Spoon about 2 Tbsp of the mixture into the
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.
