directions

  • Prepare grill for about medium heat.
  • In large bowl mix up sausage pieces, squash pieces,peppers and onions.
  • Combine syrup, orange juice, salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Divide sausage, squash,peppers and green onion onto four large pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (big enough square to make a foil"packet" out of) Equally pour syrup mixture over each sausage packet.
  • Fold up packets with a tight seal, leaving a little room for heat expansion.
  • Put packets on grill over medium heat for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until squash is tender.
  • If your seal is tight enough, using oven mitts, rotate the packets a few times throughout cooking to"coat" the ingredients inside with the syrup mixture.
  • If you can't, you can baste everything when you open them.
  • To check sqaush for tenderness, I will just cut a small opening in the foil big enough to poke a fork in and test a squash cube.
  • BE CAREFUL of the steam!
