Moist and delicious muffins made with Pennsylvannia Crook Necked Squash
|
We were given some heirloom Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck Squash seeds this year. At first, I was a little apprehensive about them thinking that the last thing I needed was another prolific winter squash to try to utilize. After harvesting and cooking with what is also called the "neck pumpkin", I am a fan of this crazy edible gourd! When cooked, the pulp is thick and the color is absolutely amazing. When used to make pumpkin bread or muffins, the squash yields a rich pumpkin taste and a bread that is delightfully moist.
