Cushaw has been a staple at my house the biggest part of my life and I’m 68 yrs young. I slice it about 3/4″ then peel it to be able to dice it up. Put in a pan with enough water to keep it from scortching. As it cooks down I add sugar and cinnamon with 4 Tbs butter and a Tbs. vanilla. cook down to desired thickness and make pies. Fried pies are awesome in half moon shape. Try it…youll love it.

The 1 1/2 cups might fill even an 8 inch pie pan. 2 cups for a 9 inch pie, and 2 1/2 to 3 cups for a 10 inch pie.

I have a good recipe for Cushaw Soup. It’s a creamed soup I found it on the website “wellnessmama.com”.

You can cube, salt and oil it, then roast at 325 to dehydrate it a bit until it’s almost tender and just beginning to brown. At this point it can be used like any vegetable to add to a dish or as a side with a little butter on top. Think of it like carrots and use it in a chicken skillet with vegetables. My family loves it with spelt berries cooked in chicken broth, then combined with savory vegetables such as mi bed onion, garlic, greens or broccoli, and a little cream at the end. Stir in some leftover chicken, seafood or fish, top with Romano, broil for a moment and you have a sensational skillet meal!

Hi Carrie!
I just roasted my first Cushaw/Kershaw squash and roasted the seeds from it today. They are delicious!!!!! I boiled them for 10 minutes with salted water (2 cups water and 1 tblsp salt) to get the salt into the seed; drained then tossed them with a very small amount of oil and a little bit of extra salt after tasting them once they were boiled and roasted them at 400 for around 10 minutes total. I had to keep an eye on them as some of the seeds were smaller than others and roasted much quicker.

In reply to Deborah Witt. I've actually never cooked it on the stovetop so I don't have any advice. Sorry!
