Zucchini crumble recipe

This recipe is for all of my friends who are currently drowning in zucchini from their garden - especially those of you who accidentally grow GIANT marrow size zucchini! :-) its not my recipe, but I can't credit the original recipe as I've long since lost the source, but I do love it. 

Zucchini crumble/pie filling (a dessert)

Take a giant zucchini (or several small), peel, remove seeds (if necessary) and cut into 1cm cubes. You need about 4 cups. 

Put your diced zucchini into a saucepan and cover with water. Boil until tender. 

Drain and cover with cold water for 5minutes. Drain again (I like to leave mine in the colander for 10min to really drain and cool).

Stir in the following:

1 cup of sugar 

1 dessert spoon cream of tartar

1 tablespoon plain flour

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

There - crumble/pie filling done!

The mixture tastes a lot like pie apple and makes a great dessert. Feed it to your guests - they'll think its apple (promise!). It will thicken on sitting. 

Use this to make your favourite crumble or pie and enjoy, knowing that a few more veg are ending up in your bellies, rather than in the chook bucket! ;-)

Enjoy!!
