Need a way to use up zucchini? Try this wonderfully flavored jam. The pineapple adds so much sweetness. &mdash;Kathy Weese, Jackson, Ohio

Zucchini Pineapple Jam

seeded, shredded, peeled zucchini

sugar

lemon juice

(20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained

gelatin

In a large stockpot, bring the zucchini and sugar to a boil. Boil and stir constantly for 6 minutes. Add the lemon juice and pineapple; cook and stir for 8 minutes. Add gelatin; stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Skim off any foam; fill jars or plastic containers. Cool before covering with lids. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks.

It's oh-kay. Used up some of the squash and I'm glad of that, but it tastes like strawberry-flavored jam, which it is, of course, but I'm not a big fan of artificial flavors. BUT, all that said, my husband will eat it in a heart beat. As long as it's sweet, he'll be a fan. LOL

I have made this for 20 years with different flavors of jello.  We love it and it can be frozen.

An overload of zucchinis and disbelief that zucchini  would make a tasty jam lead to me trying this. It is amazing! You don't taste the zucchini at all and my husband said it was some of the best strawberry jam I had made. I also made it with peach and can't wait to try other flavors.

What fun this was. I got 7x 250ml jars from this recipe; put them through a B-W bath for 5 minutes.  It IS sweet, that's for sure even though I cut back a bit on the sugar.  I had no strawberry jello, so I used Raspberry.  I'm looking to see if the jam fools anyone tomorrow.  Thank you for the recipe and yet another way to use up an excess of zucchini.

I decided to use 4 Cups of zucchini and 2 cups of fresh fruit.  I used 1 cup blk raspberries and 1 cup apricots, and raspberry jello.  I combined the sugar which  I lowered to 4 Cups and the jello.  I then made the jam like regular low sugar jam.  Placed a pkg of pectin in the zucchini, pineapple, fruit mixture.  Brought it to boil that wouldn't stir down for 1 minute, then added the jello and sugar mixture and brought it back to the hard boil for 1 minute. Turned out amazingly wonderful.  Thanks for this great recipe I was able to adapt to what's on hand.

This is a great recipe!  I have made several different ways.  With lemon jello and lemon zest added.  I decreased the sugar to 5 cups because of the jello; I added a little clear jel to the recipe.  I canned the end product in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. This recipe is a hit.

The family LOVED this recipe! Question though, my father-in-law in diabetic and this just has too much sugar in it for him. Anyone know of an alternative I could try?
