New Brunswick acorn squash is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many dishes. But if you've never prepared it, you might wonder how to tackle this bumpy, hard-skinned squash. Here are some tips to help you cut acorn squash like a pro: 👇

1. Using a sharp knife, cut off the stem and bottom. This will give you a flat surface to work with, making it easier to slice the squash in half.
2. Place the squash on a cutting board, flat side down, and slice it in half lengthwise.
3. Once the squash is halved, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center. You can discard these or save them to roast later (squash seeds are delicious!).
4. Slice or dice the squash into the desired shape for your recipe.

Whether you're roasting it, stuffing it, or adding it to a soup, now you have the perfect pieces of New Brunswick acorn squash to work with. Happy cooking! 🧡

Thanks to a collaborative mindset, Pollipop delivers delicious New Brunswick flavours in each candy. 🍁

When co-owner Carina moved to New Brunswick, she quickly recognized the value of our natural resources. Visits to maple syrup producers and berry farms gave way to the idea of Pollipop.

Carina knew collaboration was vital: for the candies to taste like New Brunswick, the ingredients would have to come from New Brunswick.

With the help of a local supplier, Carina was able to achieve her goal. From maple syrup to wild blueberry and haskap juice to organic cranberry juice, the key ingredients used in the Pollilpop products come from New Brunswick.

@pollipop.ca is a sweet taste of home. ❤️
