Fruits

Recipe idea for your 'Heavenly Hubbard' F1 squash harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit using a suitable knife on a stable surface, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the squash pieces. Pour in enough broth to just cover the vegetables and let simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend while gradually adding the liquid to adjust the consistency. A small diced apple can accompany mild-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and a few fresh herbs to your taste. The size of the pieces influences cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the pot from the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a bit more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
