Seminole Indian Baked Acorn Squash

Slice the squash in half crosswise and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Trim the bottoms, if necessary, so that the quash will stand hollow side up. Place 2 teaspoons honey in the hollow of each squash, then add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine to each and a twist or two of fresh ground pepper. Place squash in a large, shallow baking pan and bake, uncovered, in a moderate oven, 350 degrees, for about 2 1/2 hours or until the squash are tender.
