Method

Score seeded halves of squashes and place upside down in a roasting pan filled with 1/2 inch of water. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Combine all stuffing ingredients as for a meatloaf, and set aside. Remove pan from oven when time is up, and turn squash halves right side up. Fill squash with the pork stuffing, using about a 1/2 cup of stuffing per squash half. Place pan back in oven for an additional 25 minutes. When cook time is complete drizzle sauce over each squash, and serve remaining sauce on side. Sauce: Combine flour and butter with a fork until a smooth paste forms. Scald milk in a sauce pan. Just as milk begins to boil add spices. Add hot milk to butter/flour mixture. Stir constantly for 1 minute over low heat. Remove from heat source and whisk until sauce thickens.

Notes: The exotic blends of spices are an excellent accompaniment to the hearty tastes of traditional holiday dishes.
