My brother-in-law's zucchini plantsMy brother-in-law has a fabulous garden beside my little rental house. He came by yesterday with a huge bucket filled with Zucchini... and would I like any...

I recall Kathy making an excellent looking squash bread last season. The recipe is at http://carletongarden.blogspot.com/2008/08/squash-bread.html
ReplyDeleteI made zucchini scones way back in grade school in home ec class. I wish I had the recipe because they were so good. I will have to find a similar recipe if my zuc's ever produce something.
Granny also just posted a zucchini relish recipe, that is always good stuff - http://annieskitchengarden.blogspot.com/2008/09/september-9-2008-in-garden.html
That sure is a lot of zucchini plants! They are so prolific that just 2 or 3 plants is plenty for me!
ReplyDeleteI just use the one from the Betty Crocker cookbook.

I leave out the rasins, but sometimes add a teeeeeeny bit of nutmeg.
My wife makes it sometimes, but don't know what the recipe is. Personally, I like it best grilled.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog! I'm going to post a week's worth of zuke recipes, starting Aug 1st, to celebrate National leave a Zucchini on your Neighbor's porch day on August 8th. yahoo!
ReplyDelete3 eggs
ReplyDelete1/2 c canola oil
3/4 c apple sauce, unsweetened
T vanilla
3/4 c white sugar
1 c brown sugar
2 3/4c shredded zucchini
2 c all purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
t salt
2 t baking powder
t baking soda
2 T cinnamon
1/2 t each allspice, nutmeg, ginger
1/4 t cloves
Preheat oven to 350. Mix the wet ingredients together. Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix them both together. Grease 2 loaf pans. Pour in the batter. Bake 50 minutes or until cooked through. I often shred the zucchini in the summer and freeze it in premeasured packets, just for zucchini bread. When the zucchini thaws it is zucchini and a lot of liquid. DON'T drain the liquid off. You need it all to make the bread moist. BTW my family likes the bread pretty spicy. If you are a non-spicy gal then cut all the spices in half. BTW it is also good with diced fruit in it. Like apples. Yum. Raisins, cranberries (you might want to add more sugar with those) or blueberries are also good. I keep thinking of trying it with my prolific raspberries, but sadly the zucchini isn't producing so that combo will have to wait to be tried.
