Arleen I think you didn't realize that zucchini is also called summer squash as well as yellow squash, and the purple would prob be the raisins. Hope this helps you. BTW i have made this with the yellow squash and with a combination of the 2 squashes. Good luck to you.

How can this be '"Boston Zucchini" when it has no zucchini in it? I have tons of zucchini to use and thought this would be a new way to do it, but, oops, no zucchini. And the description says you have purple in it--what is purple?
