Marrow

Marrow is a cucurbit, which means it's from the same family as the melon, cucumber, squash, and courgette. The marrow is actually a courgette that has been left on the plant to grow a little longer; likewise, if you pick a marrow when small, it's classed as a courgette. Marrows are usually picked in the summer and eaten raw with dips or cooked in stir-fries. If you wish to preserve them for later use then they must be prepared correctly. Although marrow is available all year round from supermarkets and greengrocers, the best marrow is grown in summer. Mature marrow can be stored for several weeks but not much longer. Marrows are grown like courgettes; they need plenty of room to grow and plenty of sunlight. Harvest them once they are between 20-25cm (8-10in) long; any larger and the marrow will be stringy and tough.
