Meanwhile, in a skillet on the stove over medium heat, add the sausage, red onion, celery, apple, cranberries, Mediterranean Rosemary Rub & Seasoning, and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt. Cook until sausage is crumbly and mixture is well combined. Add 2 Tbsp of Cranberry Spice Balsamic and let cook for 1 more minute
Turn the oven to Broil and remove acorn squash from oven.
Stuff the filling into the cooked acorn squash and return to the oven. Broil for 5-8 minutes, until golden on top.
Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp Cranberry Spice White Barrel Aged Balsamic and enjoy!

Hi Karen,
This is actually a soap stone serving dish. Unfortunately we don’t remember where it came from, it was probably picked up as an odd item at Target, TJ Maxx, or Crate & Barrel at one point in time.
