ZUCCHINI PIE FILLING

Zucchini Pie Filling image

I created this recipe from zucchini cobbler filling. I wanted it as close to apple pie filling as I could get and after several botched attempts I struck pay-dirt! My friends are amazed, they can't believe it's zucchini!

Ingredients

24 c about 24 cups of peeled, seeded, and sliced zucchini
2 c lemon juice
2 3/4 c white sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
4 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp caradom
3/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp ginger
1 Tbsp vanilla

Steps:

1. Wash and peel zucchini. Cut in half, scoop out seeds (a melon baller works great for this or a large metal serving spoon) and then cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick. I try to make them look like apple slices.
2. Place zucchini into a pot, add the lemon juice and bring to a boil, then simmer and cook for 15 - 20 minutes. I like them a greenish color, not quite transparent though.
3. Add remaining ingredients. Tip: While the zucchini is simmering combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
4. Cook for about 3 - 5 minutes, or til thickish looking.
5. I updated this recipe to reflect the new guidelines regarding canning of squash which is not deemed safe. I would freeze this as you would apple pie filling.
6. Use as you would homemade apple pie filling.

This filling was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but this filling changed my mind. It was so creamy and flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it.

This filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
