How to Make Glazed Fruit Zucchini

Wash and chop the zucchini into small, roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the zucchini, sugar, water, lemon juice, mixed spice, cinnamon, and orange zest.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is very tender.
Remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the zucchini is translucent and glazed. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. The glaze will thicken as it cools.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The glazed zucchini will keep for several weeks.
