In an attempt to save the zucchinis from ruining at the back of my fridge, I resorted to this very unusual recipe.

If you are one of those people who like the combination of sweet and sour, then you might like this. I was looking through the Williams-Sonoma Muffins book and came across this one in the vegetable section. The list of ingredients included zucchinis, orange marmalade and cinnamon. Weird combination, I thought.. then tried it.. with what I had in the refrigerator. I substituted the orange marmalde with sour cherry jam and added cheese and took out cinnamon. I waited impatiently as to how they will turn out. It worked.

I wanted some contrast with the bland and mushy taste of the zucchinis so I used a local cheese called Eski Kaşar – a pale yellow, sharp cheese made from sheep’s milk. It is aged in sacks for six months, after which it develops its taste. Substitute as you wish.
