If they're truly huge, they might be "woody", so I would definitely try
cubing & cooking one up and tasting it. If it has you picking strings out
of your teeth, try running it through a food mill, and taste it again.

If they're OK as cubes, (pressure) can them as cubes and put them in stews.

If they're OK as puree, freeze it and use it as stew base (you can also
sneak it into soup and gravy)
