I've been making this recipe with BOTH 'sauces' since I saw it in our newspaper in about 1981. I'd lost the part showing ingreds for the Zesty Marinade so THANK YOU for putting this recipe online! It's wonderful, both ways! (I modify it by steaming 5 mins after adding onion before squash goes in...that's it.)
