Oops, meant skins, not sins got sausage fingers this morning on the tiny keyboard, and can't work out how to copy and paste on this thing either!!!

left them in the bottom of the fridge! Shame on you.  You can cook 1001 different recipes with a courgette!  They make lovely cakes and muffins etc, soups, frittata, and you can add them to so many dishes, so no need to waste any    Courgette choc muffins are lovely and the recipe is on here if I remember rightly. They do make lovely chutney as well as per Hugh Fernly W's Glutney Chutney. Yum

I've got yellow round ones this year instead of the usual banana shaped green ones.  And yes, they keeping coming.  I must have missed one when I last picked them, because its the size of a honeydew melon

If they're Summer Ball, apparently you can leave them on until the Autumn and then pick and store them as pumpkins.

Sigh - courgettes could be a swear word very soon in the season as you all sound as if you have them about the right size.

I reckon I'm about 3 days away from a glut

I reckon I'm about 3 days away from a glut

I'm a week into a glut. Courgettes every single meal now. Sigh. And they aren't even all producing yet. 

[mashauk]

Mine aren't yet either.  Because they went out really late the plants are quite small, I haven't worked out yet whether this means I will get smaller courgettes or fewer or they'll be the same as ever.  I've done lots of different varieties so hopefully won't get too bored with them I also have a neighbour that has a huge fig tree so I'm going to see if she wants to swap some of them!

 >:(Just been looking at my Courgettes - they were about two/three inches long yesterday - they have been eaten overnight. Now they have been chewed to bits - looks like mice or other rodent damage.

If you miss any marrow and ginger jam is tasty, if you like ginger.

I'm a nut.  I've got Val' book but just saw marrow and ginger jam, thought that's for me and there you go.  Many thanks.

Never mind, it's given Val's book a plug.

Just made 8 jars of her Gooseberry Jelly. Reckon I've got enough gooseberries for at least 24 more!

Courgette pate is delicious too.

[compostqueen]

been Googling for courgette recipes this morning and come up with Nigel Slater one for creamed courgettes with dill. Looks fab

The pate is one I've not heard of  Sounds lovely

I came up with a luxury cake which is sandwiched together with Green and Blacks choc hazelnut spread. Sounds dreamy
