Delicious! I didn't have any fresh jalapeños so sprinkled some dried jalapeños into the butter mixture. Very good and enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! The jalapeno butter was to die for and would taste good on anything! We loved the silky texture of the roasted acorn squash and will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing!

A very tasty squash recipe - garlic, jalapeno,lime & honey how can that go wrong? I followed the recipe except I baked the squash covered with the butter mixture in it- 375 for 1 hr. Foil removed the last 30 minutes
