Hi Mags,

Wash, peel and remove seeds from zucchini. Process in a blender or food processor and strain.

I was skeptical that this would taste like a lemon pie but I was proved wrong!! I am not a baker but this was awesome. I used a gluten free pie shell, mixed the ingredients and it turned out really well. I used 2 large zucchinis to make 1 cup of milk, raw honey, organic cornstarch, pasture fed butter, farm eggs, organic lemon juice and just realised I did not add the water!!! Now I know why it was left over!!! Not even sure if it was needed as it solidified just fine. Very tasty and very lemony. 5 stars
