How to Make 6 Easy Steps To Zucchini Jam

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place 5 clean pint jars filled with water on a baking sheet and put in the oven to sterilize.
  2. While the jars sterilize, prepare the lids by placing them in a pan of hot water on the stove.
  3. Combine 1/2 cup water and 6 cups chopped zucchini in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes.
  4. Add 4 cups sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained). Return to a boil and continue boiling for another 6 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Stir in 1 package (3 ounces) of lemon-flavored Jell-O. Boil for 2 minutes.
  6. Add 1 box (1.75 ounces) Sure-Jell fruit pectin. Bring to a rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Remove from heat and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow for thickening. Carefully remove the hot jars from the oven. Pour out the hot water and immediately ladle the hot jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place lids and rings on the jars, and tighten securely. Invert the jars for 5 minutes to create a vacuum seal.
