My last marrow recipe

[Gadget]

Hi all,

down to my last 12 marrows...I have already done GrannyJanny's Whiskey chutney which is now maturing,  done several variations on stuffed marrow and doing curried marrow tonight, however, I came across this recipe which sounds really interesting aparently over 200 years old ???

Ingredients:
   4 lb marrow flesh
   2 medium onions
   2 tbsp salt
   2 pints malt vinegar
   8 oz sugar
   1 oz powdered ginger
   1 oz powdered mustard
   0.5 oz powdered turmeric
   2-3 dried hot chillies
   6 whole cloves
Method:
Skin, de-seed and chop marrow into roughly quarter inch cubes. Chop the
onion finer and add to the marrow. Add salt and mix well. Place in a
colander, standing in a bowl. Put a plate and a heavy weight on top. Leave
to drain for 8 – 24 hours. Discard the water that collects in in the bowl.
Heat vinegar, sugar and spices in a large saucepan and add the marrow.
Simmer until tender, (usually 20 – 30 minutes). Whilst hot, seal in
sterilised, hot jars. Delicious with cold meats and cheese

Glad you've done the whiskey one Gadget, sadly I can't take credit for it I just bookmarked it for later use.

Sounds like another pickle/ chutney recipe

Has anyone tried them grated into a  thick Yorkshire Pudding batter  Then.Fried in batches  into pancakes.

Rather like a savory version of Welsh Pancakes
