I have quite a lot of dehydrated, sliced zucchini squash.
I put some of them in water for a couple of hours and then drained them and
cooked them in butter and added salt and pepper.
We also have quite a few apples that have gotten rather shriveled and are not much fun to eat.
So, I peeled some, cut them into small pieces and put them in a saucepan with a little water.
They were cooked, with a lid on, on "low" until they were tender.
Here is my dinner plate. I sprinkled ground cinnamon on the applesauce.
It was all surprisingly good! :)
I really enjoy "eking out" with what we have on hand!
What a great idea! Especially the applesauce, that's something I'll make next time I have apples.
ReplyDeleteThere's no snow overhere, just a lot of rain.
I'm glad you like the applesauce idea! I learned that from a friend 34 years ago. :)
DeleteDid you have to do anything special to dehydrate the zucchini? Steamed fresh summer squash is my FAVORITE, and this looks like a great way to have it year around! Plus, a great way to preserve an easy to grow thing! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI just slice it thinly and dehydrate it! I'm pretty sure you're "supposed" to blanch it or something, but I never do and it keeps very well. Good luck!
DeleteI love fresh applesauce! Yum...
