1) Apple, blackberry and courgette pie!
We had a few windfall apples, not enough to make a pie but by including
some courgettes chopped and treated the same as the apples they made a
pleasant inclusion in the pie. The courgettes were almost tasteless as
such and just picked up the taste of the blackberries. Their texture was
virtually identical to that of the apple. Ratio about twice the weight
of apple to courgettes.

Ooh, now that's an interesting idea. What kind of size courgette did you
use to get apple texture? I've found the overgrown ones that I have trouble
disposing of are a bit watery, I suspect they would turn to mush in a pie.
But with some blackberry (or blackcurrant!) and cinammon, that may work.

Small courgettes around 3 - 4" chopped up small. Our young Bramley apple
tree is shedding an apple a day... maybe worth another thread.
