- 1/2 cup 100% orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground (optional)

- Put each squash in the microwave. Heat for 1 1/2 minutes on high.This will soften the squash, and make it easier to cut.

- Place the squash on an ungreased baking pan. The cut side of the squash should be face-up, and the uncut part of the squash should touch the pan.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of juice into each half of the squash. Spread it evenly on the inside of each squash.
