   fibers. Arrange the halves, cut side up in a large shallow baking
   pan. In a small bowl, blend together the syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg,
   cloves, salt, and butter. Spoon about 2 Tbsp of the mixture into the
   hollow of each squash. Top with a piece of bacon. Add boiling water
   to pan, about 1 inch deep. Bake in a preheated 350f oven until
   tender, about 1 hour.
