Winter melon (Benincasa hispida)



Winter melon is a delicious gourd. This one was given to us by our friend Baida Sun who grew it in his garden in Dallas. I made a delicate and soothing soup with chunks of winter melon in a chicken soup base with thin slivers of ginger, turkey bacon (in place of ham)and green onions. Warm and comforting! I may make "kondol candy" or winter melon candy if I come across a recipe for this before it is all gone.
