Can marrows be tasty?

[Twoflower]

No it's my grandmother in law's (if that makes sense)

    450g marrow
    450g sugar
    4 eggs
    225g butter
    3 lemons ( juice and rind)

  I cook the marrow first and then mash it. For the curd add everything cold to a bowl over a pan of boiling water and beat it until it thickens about 8ish minutes then add the marrow. :)

Oooh that sounds good, thank you, I will have a go at that.  Luckily I have some lemons in my fruit bowl just waiting to be used. :)

I've been adding them to soup for the last few weeks, it gives the finished soup a lovely silky texture. Carrot soup, parsnip soup, lentil soup all work well. I reckon about a third marrow is ok.

Marrow and ginger jam is a good one if you're looking to preserve them, and marrow can be used to bulk out chutney as well, just dice, cover it in salt and leave it overnight first - this removes some of the liquid so you don't get soggy chutney.
