Winter Squash Soup
I've always loved all things Winter Squash and have trialed numerous celebrated squashes in pursuit of the perfect squash, and I believe we may have found it in Sibley. Listed on the Ark of Taste, the awkward, strangely shaped bluish fruit lacks the qualities sought after in factory farmed produce. It doesn't stack well. It offers nothing in the way of uniformity. It ripens slowly over a few months, instead of all at once. It's not disease resistant, and the seeds are expensive. But the taste is sublime, complex, even somewhat nutty. The unusual thing about Sibley, offered by a few heirloom seed companies, is that although it is a winter squash, meaning it has a hard shell and can be harvested and stored for later use...it can also be used like a zucchini when very young. We're growing Sibley and an heirloom zucchini, and are trying to put one or the other in all large boxes right now. I don't think we could FIT a Sibley in a small box with everythin...
