Like many cooks, I often combine the best parts of different recipes to come up with my own original, and that's how "Zucchini in Dill Cream Sauce" was created. It's a great way to use two of my favorite foods. My husband, Albert, and I were dairy farmers until we retired in 1967, so I always use fresh, real dairy products in my recipes. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary. We live on 3 acres now and grow a small garden—with a couple zucchini hills, of course!

Ingredients

7 cups unpeeled zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

In Dutch oven, combine zucchini, onion, water, salt, bouillon and dill; bring to a boil. Add the butter, sugar and lemon juice; mix. Remove from heat; do not drain.
Combine flour and sour cream; stir half the mixture into hot zucchini. Return to heat; add remaining cream mixture and cook until thickened.

Sounds good, but in nutrition fact it states 0 sugar, how come if recipe use 2 teaspoons of sugar? For people with DM it is important to have true nutrition info!
