Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Remove the seeds and strings from the squash halves.
3. Cut a small piece off the outside of each half to make a flat space on which the half can stand level.

5. Bake for 35 minutes.
6. Combine the marmalade and butter in a small bowl.
7. Remove the squash from the oven and invert in the pan or dish.
8. Salt lightly.
9. Spread the marmalade and butter mixture on the edges of the squash, allowing the excess to run into the center.
