  • Everyone knows the taste of classic zucchini spread — my mom makes it, too, from a tried-and-true recipe. Recently, though, I tried a special version of hers called "Pumpkin and Zucchini Spread with Mayonnaise." It came out unusual but delicious, pretty to look at, and, best of all, good for you. Here's Mom's recipe. Take your vegetables — the zucchini and pumpkin — and peel them. Cut them into small pieces and run them through a meat grinder. Then add the onion, also run through the grinder. To this mixture add the tomato paste, mayonnaise, and vegetable oil. You can use olive or palm oil; palm oil is not only wholesome but also lends the spread a rich color. Stir everything together. Put the mixture in a saucepan over the heat and cook, stirring the whole time, for about an hour. Then season with salt, sugar, and ground pepper — any kind you like: black, red, or white, it's up to you. Mix well and cook over low heat for another hour. Five minutes before it's done, add the bay leaf. When you take the spread off the stove, fish out and discard the bay leaf. You can spoon it into jars and keep it in the fridge, or can it for longer storage. Enjoy!
