Chutney (Update)
Chutney (Update)I let a few courgettes turn into marrows in our veg plot and today turned them into marrow chutney
I just have to wait a week until I can start eating it Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: ChutneyGosh Dom, your courgettes are way ahead of ours! We still have flowers on them in the colder northern climate. Normally it is September when we start to make chutney, and we are now on our last jar of 2013 preserve! We use courgettes, apples and tomatoes in the mix. Hope you enjoy yours.
Re: ChutneyThis might be the only way that I would enjoy courgettes. I find that I cannot "get on" with them, or aubergines. Never mind, there's plenty of other stuff that I do like.

Re: Chutney
A good tasty recipe for courgettes is four courgettes halved, seeds scooped out. Then mix up in a bowl 125g Ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, herbs, one red chilli deseeded and finely chopped, some grated cheddar or any flavourful cheese, a tablespoon of lemon juice and spoon into the courgette halves, then top with breadcrumbs. Put them on a baking tray and slap in the oven on gas mark 6 for 30 minutes. Very yummy Dom PS Marrow chutney is a bit spicy and is known as poor man's mango chutney. Ali Woks My World
Re: ChutneyI adore courgettes and eat them at least twice every week. Not had them in chutney though, but it sounds good

Re: Chutney (Update)I have a confession to make.
After posting about my chutney making exploits I was cleaning up when I noticed that I had neglected to add the demerara sugar to the mix. As a result I had to empty all the chutney back into the pan, heat and then add the sugar and stir it in before putting it back in the jars. If I hadn't of noticed the chutney would have been a real taste sensation. I will of course let you know if it tastes OK or makes my eyes cross when I open the first jar next week Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: Chutney (Update)Oh no! I have forgotten to put sugar into apple crumble before now

But if it was the crumble crumb you left it out of the I would miss it.

Or you could try them as Courgette Butter or use them in Christmas Mince...I've done both...the Courgette butter I really enjoyed nice just on toast or with cheese.The Christmas mince I tested on others and they had no idea it was courgettes. ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

Re: Chutney (Update)I do think I need to revisit my attitude to courgettes. The stuffed version sounds good; my friend always has a glut and offers me some.

Re: Chutney (Update)Opened the first jar today and it tasted really good so the delay in adding the sugar didn't seem to affect the taste although the extra heating to disolve the sugar has made it less chunky and a bit more puree like in texture.
