Sutton girl, another delve into my 1963 Marquerite Pattern book (same age as me nearly! :o)She has recipes for:-
Marrow Chutney
Marrow & Ginger Jam
Marrow & Lemon jam
Pickled Marrow
to name a few!! If you fancy any of the other let me know, in "old" measurements, sorry!

Marrow Chutney
2lb Marrows chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pint vinegar
1 teaspoon Pickling spices (tied securely in a bit of muslin)
1lb Onions finely chopped or grated
12oz sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger (you may need more)
2-4oz dried fruit (if liked)

Put onion in saucepan with 1/8 pint vineger & simmer until nearly soft.
Add marrow, dried fruit, spices, salt, ginger and just enough vinegar to stop the mixture from burning.
Cook gentley until teh friut is soft, stirring from time to time.
Add remainder of vinegar and stir in sugar.
Boil steadily until the chutney is thick. (keep stirring to stop it burning the pan!)
Remove pickling spices.
Pour into hot jars and finish as usual.

How about this ???

Marrow & Chillie Chutney

1 large marrow, peeled, seeded and diced.
500gr (1lb) onions chopped.
2.5 tablespoons salt.
1.5 tablespoons ground ginger
1.5 tablespoons turmeric
1.5 teaspoons cloves
5 green chillies, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
10 peppercorns
2 cups brown sugar
8 cups (2 litres) malt vinegar.

Method
Put the marrow and onions in a bowl in layers, sprinkling salt between the layers. Cover and allow to stand overnight. Drain well.
Mix together the ginger, turmeric, cloves, chillies, peppercorns, sugar and vinegar.  Heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.  Then bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1/2 hour.
Stir in the marrow and onions and return to the boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 1.5 hrs or until the mixture is thick.
Pour into warm sterilised jars and cover with two layers of greaseproof paper and one layer of foil.
Tie securely with string

Marrow and Ginger chutney...

I made some a couple of weeks ago, and it's yummy.  :D

In the recipe it says stem ginger, I am assuming they mean fresh root ginger
and not the stalks!

[cambourne7]

might do but they might also mean the stem ginger thats in jars (not the dried stuff) i think its preserved in syrup.
