How to Make Zucchini Apricot Jam

  1. Wash, peel, seed, and finely chop the zucchini.
  2. Pit and chop the apricots.
  3. Combine the chopped zucchini, apricots, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  4. If using pectin, follow the package directions for adding it to the mixture.
  5. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount dropped onto a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger).
  8. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  9. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  11. Allow the jars to cool completely. Check for a good seal (the lid should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
