30 Day Preserving Challenge: Day 20, Zucchini

In this post, I told you that in addition to my little student having her sewing lesson this week, that we were also going to do some preserving.  Here's what we did before her sewing lesson began!

We washed, cut in chunks and ran the zucchini I had harvested before she got to my house, through the food processor.  I let her feed the food processor and she thought it was the 'greatest' thing!  After the zucchini was chopped, we put it in a colander/strainer to drain off as much of the liquid as we could. 

We got out the hand mixer and I set her up with a big mixing bowl along with the mixer.  She wanted to hold the mixer and do the mixing for the zucchini bread we were going to make.  She ran the mixer while I added the ingredients one at a time.

When it was all mixed up I set her to greasing the loaf pans with shortening and then we poured in the batter.
