Zucchini Cobbler
Boil 8 cups of zucchini that has been peeled, seeded and diced (bite size). Drain and then let it cool. Add a 10 oz can of crushed pineapple (juice and all)

Mix together 1 cup of sugar ( I use raw), 3 Tablespoons of flour, dash of salt, 2 tsps of cinnamon, 3/4 tsp cream of tartar. Stir this into the zucchini mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
