That's the biggest one though, but it is the star of the garden along with the 15' sunflowers! | | Positive | JodyC | On Nov 15, 2006, JodyC from Palmyra, IL (Zone 5b) wrote: Great taste and a good lon keeper...melody mentioned "the hard rind is a bit daunting"...I have a few mouse tooth prints on my blue hubbards this year but they gave up on trying to eat them...... | | Positive | melody | On Aug 18, 2005, melody from Benton, KY (Zone 7a) wrote: Tasty and quite versitile, this squash keeps almost forever. The hard rind is a bit daunting, but it is well worth the effort once you chop into one. (use a small hatchet)
The flesh is meaty and holds up well to just about any recipe. It holds it's shape if cooked in chunks and does not turn to mush.
I especially like it roasted with onion, olive oil, ginger, ground black pepper, a touch of brown sugar and a bit of orange juice concentrate.
Roast at about 450F for 25 minutes, stir and continue to roast for an additional 10 minutes or so.....different and good! | | Positive | Big_Red | On Sep 3, 2004, Big_Red from Bethelridge, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: An old New England favorite, large 12 - 20 pound fruit with fine, sweet, yellow/orange flesh. This is my favorite winter squash, the only drawback being it's large size, once you cut it, you got to cook it! |
