Go
- See if the zucchini is ripe by piercing the skin with your thumbnail. This should be easy. Use a carrot peeler to remove the skin.
- Ask a parent to cut the peeled zucchini in quarters lengthwise.
- Remove the seeds and slice crosswise.
- Boil quickly, just until tender and crisp.
- In a separate bowl mix the sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour.
- Mix the lemon juice and salt with the cooked zucchini.
- Add the zucchini to the other ingredients and mix well. Mixture will be runny.
- Pour the filling into the piecrust. Dot with butter and add top crust. Bake at 400 F for 40 to 50 minutes.
