I love eating hachiyas, but am not crazy about fuyus. Is it possible to bake with fuyus? They're so hard I'm not sure if they'd puree down, and their flavor seems much more subtle than hachiyas, so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it.

Allow them to caramelize and serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.
