Fried Blossoms
Both of our parents and grandparents (on the Italian sides) prepared these with zucchini blossoms from their gardens each summer. We have continued the tradition, wherever we could grow a garden. We have discovered that any squash blossom will work, but still prefer the flavor of zucchini blossoms.
