However, since I started looking for cultivation information on it, I've discovered that it is a vegetable, not a fruit. That leads me to wonder whether anyone has ever used it as a vegetable, and if so, how? I'd love to find new ways to enjoy my favorite foods.

What you have left is a mushy substance. It just doesn't lend itself to much more than being baked in pies, cookies, cakes, etc. It has to have a sweetener added or you can't stand to eat it. I enjoy it as a side, just simmered with sugar. I also enjoy it spread over toast or a biscuit, just as I also enjoy my chunky, spiced applesauce. Just enjoy if for what it is, a tart stalk that lends itself well to being simmered in sugar or baked in a pie or other sweet dessert.
