That's right, I made Zucchini Bread Jam. If your garden is bursting with zucchini, you may want to give this recipe a go. I found this on "Cosmopolitan Cornbreads" website. She has some awesome recipes and I have done a few of them so far.
4 c finely shredded zucchini
1 c apple juice
3 oz powdered pectin, 1 pouch
1/3 c raisins
1 Tb bottled lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 c sugar
Cut the seeds out of the center of the zucchini and shred it in a food chopper or use a handheld grater.
Combine the shredded zucchini, apple juice, pectin, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large pot.
Bring the ingredients to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Add the sugar and again bring it to a rolling boil stirring continually. Boil the jam for 1 minute and remove it from the heat.
Ladle the jam into prepared half-pint jars. Leaving a 1/4 inch of head space. Debubble your jam, wipe the rims with white vinegar, and add the lids and rings.
Place the jars in your hot water bath or steam canner, then process for 15 minutes. You will have this jam that tastes just like Zucchini Bread.
If you are not a fan of raisins you can omit them. Also, you can use pineapple juice and some other juice, like pear juice, if you do not want to use apple juice.
I hope this inspires you to give the #recipe a try, as it will be a great addition to the #pantry shelf. I will do another batch to share as Christmas gifts this year. I'm sure my neighbors will love it.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
