Golden Fruit and Vegetable Muffins
"Another delicious way to use the plentiful yellow crookneck squash from your summer garden! These moist muffins are reminiscent of a light fruitcake. They will keep several days in an airtight container. The recipe is from "Sweet and Savory Muffins" and was in a November 1985 issue of Bon Appetit magazine."

Wow! These are fantastic, and really are like a light fruitcake. I used 1 tsp. of cardamom instead of coriander, just as a personal preference, and used dried apricots. Made these as part of a luncheon I was having for friends, and they went wild for these. Thanks, Leslie!
