It's Fruit & Veggie Season!
I have Tomatoes, Zucchini, Swiss Chard, Figs, & Grapes
to name a few, producing right now.
Picking at just the right time provides the tastiest produce.
BUT, I have a life and being able to check on them frequently proves a challenge at times. I feel so proud of myself when I have plucked every last ripe & ready piece. Or so I think ~
Going out the next day only to find a monster Zucchini! Where was it the day before? Did it develop over night? It would seem so ;~)
But that's OK with me!
I have the best recipe for Monster Zucchini's! :~)
Yes, Yes, I'm sharing. I can guarantee it is very yummy!!
*
"Z" Apple Pie
*
6 cups Zucchini, peeled and sliced
2 1/4 cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 1/2" teaspoon Cream of Tarter
1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Dash of salt
**
Peel and slice through the middle of the squash; remove seeds with a spoon.
Slice each half to resemble Apple Slices.
Cook just until tender. Drain and put in cold water about 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Mix all ingredients well and place into a 9 inch, unbaked Pie Shell. Dot with Butter. Cover with top Crust, vent.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
The first time I made this I didn't tell my family it was Zucchini.
They thought it was real Apple Pie!
A great way to get veggies down the kiddos!
