What to do with marrow

balmaiden

We used one last week to make a"marrow cheese" as opposed to a cauliflower cheese, it worked really well.

Marrow is nice in a curry, and I have a sneaking suspicion, you can make wine with Marrows? Never tried it, but I'm sure I've heard of it.
Hey, it's alcohol. That's gotta be good, right?

This recipe is lovely - made it today, second batch this year, as everyone keeps begging jars of it from me - it is very good with cheese, and even alongside curry! Its sort of sweet and spicy :-)

Marrow Chutney from www.allotment.org.uk
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
3lb marrow
1lb onions
1lb ripe tomatoes
1 pint malt vinegar
4 oz dates - I used sultanas instead
2tsp allspice
2 tsp ground ginger - I used a load of fresh grated instead - about 2 tbspn
2 tbsp salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ lb brown sugar

Instructions
1. Peel the marrow and cut into small chunks. Peel and chop or mince the onions. Peel and slice the tomatoes.

2. Put all these ingredients in a pan with half the vinegar. Stone and chop the dates and add to the pan. Simmer gently until soft and pulpy and the marrow can easily be crushed. Add spices, pepper and salt and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

3. Stir in the sugar and remaining vinegar. Continue cooking until thick (No liquid should ooze into the path made by the wooden spoon as it is drawn cross the pan).

4. Pour into warm jars with plastic or plastic coated metal lids.

I'm making my fifth batch of this tomorrow (and the fourth batch was a double one) it's so popular.

3.5kg of marrow

Bless his heart he was so proud he'd found someone at work who didn't want it and brought it home for me.... like a hunter weilding a mighty bison he's killed on the plains. Except it's not a bison, it's a marrow.

So I've just spent half an hour rooting round the recycle box for all the jars I can find and I've found all the ingredients for chutney, but it's going to be a motherload of the stuff.

Might also stuff some with sausagemeat and bake it for us. Ah, old style moneysaving in action.

I don't have any sensible suggestions, but you're going to get a lot of views!

Marrow and ginger jam is truly scrummy. I don't have a recipe but i expect you'll find lots if you google it.

Can you grate some of it and freeze it to add to currys/spag bog later? I do this with courgette to add to the chocolate courgette cake during the winter months...it may work as marrow is just a bigger courgette
