I have a marrow

[ElectricElephant]

What shall I do with it?

and a true marrow would be too large to use as an impromptu dildo.

You could make your own marrow wine.

I remember my geography teacher in school telling us something about hanging a marrow in the end of a stocking, suspend in a cool place such as the garage, then let it slowly rot. The juice drips through the stocking into a container and turns into alcohol. This was 20 years ago though, so my memory could be a bit hazy (too much marrow wine ).

On a field trip to study slope formation, same teacher had us collecting sloe berries instead to make sloe gin. Happy days!

Brocco, here is the recipe: its for marrow rum

1 large ripe marrow, Demerara sugar:

The marrow whould be very firm, too tough for cooking or cutting with a kitchen knife.
Saw (!) through the stalk end, scoop out seeds and pulp. Fill marrow completely with demerara sugar, put top back on and tape tightly in place.
Put into a bag made of strong cloth, hang in a cool dry place.
After 2 weeks fill the marrow again with sugar, seal up again and hang again.
After about a month the marrow will begin to drip.
Take the marrow from the bag and make a hole in it where the drip is coming from. Let tghe liquid run into a muslin-covered funnel into bottles.
Cork lightly. Fermentation will soon start. When it has ceased in a few weeks. cork firmly. Keep for at least a year before using.

Please note I have never done this but often thought about it!

Marrow Rum: Hmm, DH tried that one years ago. Fortunately we lived in a very very trashed house . . . Believe me, it is very, very nasty, and it made what we optimistically called the conservatory even nastier than it had been previously. I have also spoken to other people who have tried it, and if anything their experiences have been worse than ours.

i have a gherkin.

but I'm not jealous.

Have marrow too - childhood memories of marrow & ginger jam, will try to make some. Cooked up it is a bit flavourless so lots of peeper needed. Cut thinly you can fry off like courgette / aubergine and its nice.
