I was reading up on winter squash. Pumpkin pie is usually made with squash. I grew 80 bushels of the stuff this year. Acorn, Butternut, Buttercup, and Spaghetti. Sold most of it and kept some to give away. I love it baked in the half shell. Eat it right out of the shell. It is a much better consistency that way.

four custard and six pumpkin.

cobleskill that is alot of squash! what i know of the soil there it grows awsome my favorite is the butternut halved with some maple syrup before baking!

Dave I see the avatar thing was done!

Maple syrup sounds good. We usually put some brown sugar and butter in it before baking. I like them all, but Acorn is my favorite.

Woohooo...just the way we do it too!

How about a recipe, please.

I can find butternut here, when I'm lucky, but none of the others.

Stig cut in half scoop out the seeds/guts place remaining on baking tray add maple syrup to cavity and bake @350 for 30 min to 40 min or so.
brown sugar same only butter and brown sugar amounts are not critical but maybe a 1/4 cup brown sugar, and a couple table spoons of butter I cover mine for the first 20min so I dont loose too much to drying out. enjoy

EZPZ. You just cut the squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and any strings, put in a baking dish with an inch of water. 2 tbsps of butter and a couple tbsps of brown sugar and bake at 350-375 until tender. About 40 minutes to an hour, depending on size. You could probably grow a bush acorn in your greenhouse. You usually get 6 to 8 fruits from a 36 to 40" diameter plant. The other squashes take more space, but could be trellised. Do you have enough summer to get the plants started to a good size indoors and then set them out?

Hmmmmmm..................sounds interesting.
I'll have to talk to the person in charge of what get's to grow in the greenhouse about that.

I picked up a couple of butternuts from the turkish greengrocer in town today, hoping there'd be a recipe waiting here when I got home.
I'll try it out tonight.

Also bought a bunch of big ripe persimmons.
On the way home we went through the forest and stopped to take a walk.
After last nights snowfall everything was totally white. I grabbed a persimmon and munched on that as we were walking.
That bright orange color really stood out against the snow.

brown sugar and butter work great , but there is a certain something about Dark Maple Syrup flavor with the squash ....

 

[stig]

Do you eat anything with it? sounds like it would go great with a scoop of vanilla icecream.

 

[stig]

Well, I did it.
Used Maple syrup.

YUM!!!!!!!!!
