How to Make Zucchini Jam
- Wash and chop 4 cups of zucchini into small pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped zucchini, 4 cups of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning. The zucchini should soften considerably.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of crushed pineapple. Continue to boil for 6 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 (3-ounce) packages of apricot jello until completely dissolved.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and bands on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude).
- Allow jars to cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
