Zucchini Jelly

Recipe View 5 mins In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the shredded zucchini, sugar, drained crushed pineapple, and lemon juice. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 25 mins Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini becomes translucent and the mixture thickens slightly. (Approximately 20-25 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Place sterilized lids on the jars and secure with sterilized canning rings. (2 minutes)
