Marrow ideas??

[trappa 518]

I picked this fella this afternoon. 9lb exactly of sweat and toil over the past few months. Any ideas what i could make?

I made a nice batch of marrow and onion chutney the other day but im running low on onions. Im thinking of marrow and apple chutney as ive got a cracking little recipe but ive got at least another dozen fatties like this fella and i need some inspiration.

Stuff it with a mince of your choice and roast it

That looks a cracking idea. Im going to show my ignorance now. What is "previously activated yeast"?? Ive got bread yeast, and can get wine yeast but how do i activate it so i can use the previously activated stuff? any ideas anyone?

you could try Marrow Curd , which is similar to lemon curd..... Great marrow by the way.

 

 

2Ib marrow/pumpkin

2Ib sugar

3 lemons

4oz butter

 

Cook the squash flesh until tender, then allow to strain through a seive to remove as much water as possible. Mash and beat until a smooth paste is formed (I used my hand blender). Put the squash into a large pan.

Finely grate the zest of three lemons, then juice them and add this to the cooked squash.

Add the sugar and slowely warm until all the sugar has completely dissolved.

Once dissolved add the butter and continue to cook slowely until this has melted.

Now bring up to a simmer and stir until a thick smooth creamy paste is formed.

Bottle in sterile jars in the usual way. It is very nice indeed!

Stupid question could you get away with using courgettes instead of marrow? As i've got them coming out my arse at the moment.
