But Why?

If you had left some to mature and get ripe they make good Jam. Marrow and
ginger.


That's so.

You can take the base off, remove the seed and fill with brown sugar, hang
the marrow in a clean stocking, or even 2 of them in a pair of tights, and
when the sugar has fermented and worked its way through the marrow you

have
Marrow rum


Which is delicious!

Finally when Ripe they will keep most of the winter so you can have one
every so often, better than when you have them immature.


Absolutely.

Very useful, marrows. I still prefer them as courgettes though.
