Big batch of zucchini bread

 

This is a recipe I got from a cousin of my dads years ago.  It uses six cups of zucchini and makes a big batch.  This recipe can make four big loaves of bread or a bundt cake and two big loaves of bread.  It calls for 4 cups of cooked shredded peeled zucchini.  To get 4 cups of cooked zucchini, use about 6 cups of raw shredded zucchini cooked until it is tender in a pan on the stove. Drain off any water that is on the cooked zuchinni.  This is a fun version of zucchini bread as it also has bananas, pineapple, dates/raisins/or chocolate chips in it.
