Wynn
Hidatsa, Mandan, and Aricara tribes all grew squash, they were even grown at
Fort Union. Right now is when the summer squash was ready to be harvested and
dried. We will have some at Fort Bridger, Jill and the Women of the Fur Trade
will be showing how they dried it. These squash ya save the seeds so ya can
plant them again next year. We will also have one or two winter Squash for
display but they are not quit ripe yet they need a frost or at least some cooler
tempters to set the sugars in them and give them there best flavor, same with
the pumpkins
Anyone interested in what these Squash look like, have a look at our Web site
and Upper MISSOURI RIVER GARDENING. The Large squash are the winter squash
and the smaller ones are the summer squash.

Crazy,
Read your site article on agriculture and enjoyed it. Read Buffalo Bird =

This is just to ask you if you are aware of "Native Seed Search"? An =

Even native tobacco seed. Grew some of that native tobacco a few years =

aphids! What fun.

Wynn,
I've never dried winter squash. I have dried yellow crookneck and
zuccini with much success. Seeds? I would submit that if you have to
take the seeds out when you eat it fresh, take them out when you dry
them! I have never removed seeds from squash (peaches and plums are a
different matter [;-)). Slice them about a quarter inch thick before
drying them or they will not only look like onion skin paper when you
remove them from your racks, they will also fall apart while you are
taking them off.
I turn mine ever so often during the process.
If you make it to Ft. Bridger this weekend, I expect to be spending
Saturday afternoon and evening with the American Long Rifle Assn.
members near the guardhouse.

Wynn,<br>
I've never dried winter squash. I have dried yellow crookneck and zuccini
with much success. Seeds? I would submit that if you have to take the seeds
out when you eat it fresh, take them out when you dry them! I have never
removed seeds from squash (peaches and plums are a different matter [;-)).
Slice them about a quarter inch thick before drying them or they will not
only look like onion skin paper when you remove them from your racks, they
will also fall apart while you are taking them off.<br>
I turn mine ever so often during the process.<br>
<br>
If you make it to Ft. Bridger this weekend, I expect to be spending Saturday
afternoon and evening with the American Long Rifle Assn. members near the
guardhouse.<br>

Anyway I noticed several people have mentioned dried sqash. Which varieties
are most period or work best? And do you skin and remove seeds etc?

PS This is the best time to gather corn for parching. The gardeners are a
little tired of eating corn on the cob and the kernals are getting kind big
and tough now anyway. Perfect for parching and can be had cheap if not
free.

<pre wrap="">My family receipt for pemmican comes from my Cherokee Great,Great
Grandma and it does not have any extra animal fat, so it's not so much a
heart danger. Everyone seems to like it and it's easy to make.
I make my own jerk and dried fruit/veggies so I mix up batches for
events as needed.
Pound together 1/2 pound each of the following:
jerk meat (venison or buffalo)
parched corn
dried cranberries
dried apples
dried squash
sunflower seeds
the oil in the sunflower seeds acts like suet and binds the mixture
together slightly. It's great as is by the handful, washed down with
water, but it makes a good stew base with tomatoes, onions and beans
when you have a chance to cook.
enjoy!

Wynn,
In Buffalo Bird Woman's gardening book she talked of drying squash much =
as Crazy and Jill talk about it on their site.
As I recall this is how BBW described it in her book and how I did it. =
She either cut the squash in to "rings" or a spiral across the squash, =
removed the seeds for roasting (excellent!) and strung the squash rings =
on a pole to be suspended off the ground on a rack. A tall tri-pod set =
up at both ends seems likely for a single pole.
As Crazy described it, the dried squash ring was boiled up until the =
meat could be separated from the skin and then added to the pot, etc. I =
think I trimmed mine off before drying and used a drier for lack of a =
pole, etc. Worked out the same. It can be eaten dried or cooked up. =
Pumpkin works good too and I think I even cooked up some pumpkin a while =
and dried the semi cooked chunks. Might even have cooked it up with some =
brown sugar.
Speaking of which, I need to get some pecans or walnuts and some maple =
syrup. I'll cover the bottom of a pan with the nuts and pour in a goodly =
dose of maple syrup and cook it all down till the syrup turns to plain =
sugar (it will get sticky and adhere to the nuts at that point) being =
careful not to burn it. Makes a great trail food and snack in camp and =
could be mixed with the dried fruits and other nuts we've been talking =
about.
The same can be done with parched Indian corn ( the full hard kernels =
rather than the wrinkled up sweet corn) after parching it. Makes it a =
bit more palatable.=20
I still have some pemmican I made last summer, didn't use it all =
hunting. It's made the normal way with whatever dried fruits, nuts and =
jerky I had laying around. Used pork lard instead of beef tallow but it =
works. Wrapped it in parchment paper rolls. Being a sweetie I laced it =
with raw sugar granules.=20
And I need to make up some of Hardtack's hardtack recipe with my =
addition of some raw sugar pressed into the top before baking. Crawdad =
loves the stuff and if it keeps him paddling I'll feed him the whole =
sack. Kinda like training a puppy to dog paddle for a biscuit.

Roger,
Thanks for the details. When I was referring to leaving the seeds in
the slices, it was because the sqash and the seeds were tender enough to
eat. When they are still in the relatively-early development stage, I
don't know if they be good for roasting, but that's my guess. If you've
tried that you know more than I do.
WATCH IT! when buying pumpkins, they are NOT all the same. Some (most
in the stores) are grown for carving before discarding on November 5.
EATING PUMPKINS ARE DIFFERENT! I never would have known except for the
local fruit/vegetable stand vendors. Both, of course, are edible. But
the one's grown for eating are probably closest to what the native
Americans had .
