This is a nice way to use up some summer squash. I used yellow summer squash because I have an abundance in my garden, but it would work just as well with zucchini. I used about half as much oil as similar recipes use, but more squash than other recipes. Lots of people sub apple sauce for oil, but in this case, I just subbed extra squash for oil, which does the same thing.Finally, I keep bees and always have lots of honey. If you don't have honey, you should add an extra 1/3 c sugar, a few Tbs of water, and a Tbs of vanilla to give it flavor. I don't use vanilla if I'm using honey, in order to enjoy the honey flavor.
