Oval and plump in shape, Blue hubbard squash is somewhat bulbous in the middle and slightly tapered at the neck leading to a corky, rough, light brown stem. The semi-thin rind is very tough, bumpy with some smooth patches, and pale blue-green-gray in color. The flesh is orange to golden yellow, fine-grained, and dense with a large central cavity filled with stringy pulp and many large, flat, cream-colored seeds. When cooked, Blue hubbard squash is tender and starchy with a rich and semi-sweet, nutty flavor similar to that of cooked pumpkin.
Blue hubbard squash is best suited for cooked applications such as roasting, baking, boiling, or steaming. The large squash should be cut in half, seeds discarded, and the skin should be removed either before or after cooking as it is inedible. When cooked, Blue hubbard squash can be added to pies, casseroles, risotto, and pasta preparations. It can also be pureed and added to soups, stews, sauces, curries, and desserts and can be used in recipes as a substitute for pumpkin or butternut squash. Blue hubbard squash pairs well with white beans, cinnamon, nutmeg, curry, brown sugar, maple syrup, ginger, clove, chipotle, toasted walnuts, chard, kale, leek, fennel, shallot, sage, apple, pear, sausage, ground beef, pork, and cheeses such as mascarpone, parmesan, and goat. It will keep up to six months when stored in a cool and dry place.
