@tortoise You can make candies with it. Peel and remove seed from LARGE heavy walled zucchini. Cut into 1 inch cubes. Simmer cubes in 4 -5 cups water with 3 packets Kool-Aid and 2 - 2 1/2 C sugar or sweetener to equal. simmer until cubes begin to get translucent. Drain and spread on dehydrator trays. Set at 125 degrees and dry about 16 hours until no longer sticky. Shake cooled candy in powdered sugar and store in sealed container.
I make a dish using about a pound of the stuff, creamed sweetcorn, cheese and loads of eggs, so I grate and freeze pound bags of zuchs when I have a glut. But I want to try the above candies next year when I'll hopefully have a dehydrator and a bit of a vegetable patch
Which reminds me… for some odd reason the Irish do not "do" creamed sweetcorn and the tinned whole kernel corn we buy here is a bit chewy and not very nice. Anyone have any suggestions for home-made creamed sweetcorn? Either from fresh corn or tinned whole kernel.
