Summer is rich in fruit and vegetable harvests. Skillful housewives can preserve all kinds of salads, assorted foods, compotes and make jam. If this year the zucchini harvest is good, then you can make an unusual tasty zucchini jam.
The recipe is quite simple and will not cause much trouble for busy housewives.
In order to make jam, which you can feast on all winter, you will need:
- zucchini - 1.5 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- lemon - 1 pc.
You need to choose large, mature zucchini. It is better not to use young fruits, they are too soft and the jam will turn out to be mushy.
The fruits are thoroughly washed, cleaned and freed from seeds. Next, the zucchini should be cut into small cubes, about 1x1 cm. The sliced fruits are placed in a container, covered with sugar and boiled for about 1.5-2 hours over low heat.
When the zucchini jam has cooled, you need to prepare the lemon. It needs to be washed and cut into small cubes, taking out the seeds. After adding pieces of citrus, the mixture is stirred and after 12 hours put into jars.
Jam jars must first be washed and sterilized. It is better to choose a small can size.
Squash jam chunks may be a little crunchy, but the citrus flavor will add a slightly bitter aroma.
