Question? What winter squash grows to 30 pounds, has golden orange flesh and a silvery blue skin?
Answer! Two correct answers have been received from Baratt and Eliot Linsky. It is a Blue Hubbard Squash.
Note! Blue
Hubbard Squash can be prepared like butternut squash; boiled, drained, mashed,
then seasoned with butter, salt, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. It can be baked
like acorn squash; brush it with butter, maple syrup and add a sprinkle of
cinnamon, then bake it at 350 degrees (with a little water in the pan) until
tender or about 50 minutes. A particularly good way of using the squash is
to make it into a pureed soup. For an example use a recipe for cream
of asparagus soup and substitute the squash for the asparagus, then puree
the soup and season with a little sugar and cinnamon. Serve with cheddar
cheese and garlic biscuits, or crusty French bread and salad.
