- (A variety of crookneck squash of the qourd family)
- Cushaw is not as difficult to prepare for cooking as most recipes read.
- Remove ends. Halve lengthwise, then cut into long narrow strips. Peel, removing the green meat next to the skin. Cut crosswise into 1" chunks.
- Place in a large kettle and cover with unsalted cool water. Cook over medium heat till tender - about 15 min - when pricked with a fork.
- Drain well in colander then pat a little with paper towels.
- Immediately place half of the cushaw in a 1 quart. casserole dish. Chip half of butter and dot over cushaw.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle 1/3 of this over the cushaw.
- Gently place the remaining half of the cumshaw on top and dot with the other half of the butter. sprinkle with the rest of the spice mix.
- Mix slightly with care, as the cumshaw will break up easily.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour or possibly till nicely browned and topping is somewhat crusty.
