How to Make Zucchini Marmalade

  1. Dice 4 cups of zucchini into ½-inch pieces. Place in a large saucepan with ½ cup water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  2. Add 2 cups of granulated sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple (undrained). Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture slightly thickens.
  4. Stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of apricot-flavored gelatin (do not use sugar-free). Continue to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture has reached a marmalade-like consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized pint-sized jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.
  6. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing (optional, but recommended for long-term storage).
