How to Make Zucchini Apricot Jam
- Wash, peel, seed, and finely chop the zucchini.
- Pit and chop the apricots.
- Combine the chopped zucchini, apricots, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- If using pectin, follow the package directions for adding it to the mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- 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).
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- 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).
- Allow the jars to cool completely. Check for a good seal (the lid should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
