I’m still perplexed by what to do with all that zucchini. So, I thought I’d try Zucchini Jam. Part savory spread part pickle. You know, if you like pickles, this is the jam for you.
I’m going to experiment with it a little more, but like I said, if you are a fan of pickles, this rocks!

Hi,
I was wondering if you could include instructions for canning this jam in jars. I would love to try it but need to ship it un-refridgerated, and I would like it to keep for a while.
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
I don’t actually can my stuff to keep it on the shelf. I usually just package for consumption within a few weeks. Let me do some research and I’ll let you know.
Here’s a good link with lots of info on canning. This should work well. http://www.canning-food-recipes.com/canning.htm
Very unique! I love zucchini and I love pickles, so this is something I would like to try!
I have to try this soon! It looks delicious….
This sounds awesome! I can’t wait for the zucchini to start producing so I can make some. Thanks for sharing.
