[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT - What to do with Zucchini - WAS: New Craft classes, let's try it out!

Sun Jul 10 14:30:23 UTC 2016

Nella,

Here are some other things you can do with Zucchini:

Zucchini bread made in regular sized loaves and mini loaves as well as
muffins made in large, medium (cupcake or mini.  Cool completely and freeze
in as air-tight as possible.

Grilled zucchini - Cut the ends off of the zucchini, leave the skin on,
slice into 1/4 slices from end to end, toss with olive oil, sprinkle with
garlic powder and sea salt to taste (optional).  Gook on the grill until
they are warm or cooked to the doneness of your liking.  This method is my
husband's favorite way to cook zucchini, and I really do enjoy the taste.

Slice the zucchini into 1/4 rounds with the skin on.  Toss with Olive oil,
and garlic powder and sea salt to taste (optional.  Placed on a greased
baking sheet or baking stone (my preference).  Place in a 350 degree oven.
Cooking time will vary based on thickness and tenderness of zucchini, and
the type of baking pan, as well as your preference for doneness.  Flipping
each piece over around 2/3 of the way through the cooking time will provide
a more even texture, but life will not end if you do not flip them, but you
have to be careful not to burn the bottoms.  If I am cooking, baking is my
favorite way to make zucchini.

Slicing the zucchini into 1/4 or smaller rounds, tossing them with (yes, you
guessed it) olive oil, garlic powder and sea salt, and steaming them on the
stove top is easy and fast.

Spiralized zucchini  is very versatile.  It does require you to have a
veggie spiral cutter.  We have a manual one that cost under $15.  It does
take a bit of muscle, but it gets the job done.  If you do a Google search
for spiralized Zucchini recipes you will find tons.  Or you can think about
your favorite spaghetti recipe and substitute the spiralized zucchini for
the spaghetti.  I've been told that combining spiralized zucchini, carrots,
and sweet potatoes with chunks of other foods makes a very visually
appealing presentation.  

HTH,
Annette

Ramona, hope you can make it.

I need to find a recipe for zucchini relish.  I had 3 different people give
me zucchini in 1 day!

Nella, I really did not have any trouble.  It has just been so long that I
don't remember the details.  I think I made peach preserves and zucini
relish.  Zucinis here grow huge and fast.  A pot big enough to hold the jars
was the biggest challenge.  I didn't want to buy a cannner and have to store
it.  

Will try to be there if I can.  
Ramona

Oh yes, longer ago (40 years) I used to can grape juice.  Then I did have a
canner.

Ramona:

I'm leading a chat on Monday, July 18 on introducing jelly and jam making.
I'm very much a beginner at this so hope any of you who have experience will
join in.  I thought I would go over what supplies are needed and how to
safely handle hot jars and liquids.

I got some advice from my Mom, my Aunt and read some books.  It's really
just following recipes and cooking.  If you like to cook and have safe
kitchen skills, you can do it.

Nella

It has been more than twenty years since I made jam, but this might be a
time for some of you who do this to explain what you do.  I used the recipe
on the pectin package, and it turned out great.  I know some people make
frozen jam which is also good. I don't think it would work to do it in
class, but a talk about what is necessary and what works would be enough for
many.   

I don't think we want cooking to take over the list, but a couple of classes
should be appropriate, and this is the right time of year.

This will be a test run on doing classes.  So let's give it a try!

The next 2 weeks up to July 31 we do not have any phone classes.  We do have
1 email class on the calendar.  So I am looking for you to do a one night or
day class.  It will not be put up on the website.  You need to promote it
here on the list.  You need to post the date, description of the class and
supplies needed.  You need to check the emails here to see if anyone has
booked the date you would like to do it on and you need to collect the
student list.

So classes can start on July 12 and the last date will be July 28.  

This will not be posted for sign up, so you need to contact the teacher if
you have any questions.

Let's give this a try.

Joyce
