Gadzooks!! What to do with all that Zucchini!!!

An overabundance of Zucchini, no worry, over the next few days I am going to post some recipes for getting rid of this vegetable! This is one plant that is very versatile, the abundance of Zucchini can be used as a frugal dessert, main course, and even frozen for future use.

Zucchini apples

8 cups of cut up zuchinni(I like to use the really big ones that got away, peel them and take the seeds out and cut up like apple slices, I freeze these in 8 cup portions)
2/3 cup of lemon juice
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg

Cook the zucchini in the lemon juice until tender (about 20 minutes)
add the sugar and spices



You can use this just like you would use apple pie filling, I use it to make pies or apple crisp. It really does taste like tart apples.
