Preparation

Step 1

Precook the zucchini until just tender crisp. Drain and mix lemon juice and salt. Mix sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour in a bowl. Add the zucchini and mix well. You may also stir in a handful of nuts or raisins for a special occasion.

The mixture will be runny!

Turn the filling into a 8" or 9" pie crust and dot with butter. Add the top crust, sealing the edges and slitting the crust for a vent to let the steam escape, bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or untilo golden brown.

(I have also used a crumb topping instead of the top crust.....delicious!)
