Zucchini Orange Blender Loaves

Here’s another blender inspired loaf recipe for you to try. 

It was started by my friend Suzanne who has a garden.  And an overdose of zucchini.  zucchini

I got my trusty blender out, (thanks again Oster) and started chopping zucchini.  With the blender running, I dropped a quartered orange, then chunks of zucchini at room temperature through the hole in the lid until I had 2 cups.

Why room temperature you ask?  Because mine were cold from the fridge, and when I added the melted lard to the cold zucchini it hardened in the blender and wouldn’t blend.  Drat!

So then I added the lard, egg, vanilla and sugar and mixed it all together well.  The blender was pretty full.

All the other ingredients got measured into a bowl, then the contents of the blender were poured in and mixed. 

Divided into 2 loaf pans, into the oven, and yummmmmy.
