This was my grandmother's recipe. It was a favorite of my dad's, now is a favorite of my husband. It tastes similar to pumpkin pie, but smoother and better. If you can get over the green color this will be your favorite too. Ingredients:
2 zucchini, chopped |
3/4 cup milk |
2/3 cup white sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place zucchini in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Blend in a blender until smooth. Measure 2 cups blended zucchini; pour into a large bowl.
3. Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg together with blended zucchini until smooth. Pour into pie crust.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until center of pie is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes.
