\nA plate full of achochas<\/a>

I’m a member of the Heritage Seed Library<\/a>, which means that I get five interesting seed packets every winter.<\/p>\n

This year’s delivery included achocha<\/a> seeds.<\/p>\n

I sowed them in my greenhouse, and the plant was really vigorous and tried to take the over the world.<\/p>\n

In the end, it didn’t produce a lot of fruit compared to the amount of plant growth – just one small plate of achochas (see the photo).<\/p>\n

Now I need to find out what to use them for. They taste like cucumbers, but the skin is leathery and they contain large stony pips, so they’re not good for eating raw.<\/p>\n

Apparently you can stuff them and bake them, but they’re tiny – about the size of my thumb – so it would be a lot of effort for a small starter.<\/p>\n

Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
