Zucchini with pineapple juice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the indicated products. If the store or supermarket does not have pure pineapple juice, then buy a can of canned pineapple and create jam with syrup from it. If you wish, you can add some canned pineapple slices. Use only young zucchini, with tender skin and without hardened seeds.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the vegetables in water, cut off the tails on both sides of each of them. Cut into plates, and cut the plates into cubes of 0.5 cm on each side. If you want to get jam, you can grate the zucchini using a large-mesh grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the zucchini slices into a container with a non-stick bottom or cauldron.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add granulated sugar. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, as some people like unsweetening jam, some consume large amounts of granulated sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour pineapple juice into a container. It can be passed through a fine-mesh strainer. Place the container on the stove and turn on maximum heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Scald the lemon with boiling water for 1 second, cut in half and cut one half into slices, add to the container. It is imperative to add lemon or citric acid to the jam so that the acid neutralizes and emphasizes the sweetness of the sugar. Bring the jam to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and cool completely for about 3-4 hours. Heat to a boil again and boil for 5 minutes, cool again.

7. STEP 7

   

   Thus, when cooling, the zucchini “draws in” the sweet syrup and becomes transparent, juicy and sweet. Heat the whole mass for the third time. Lemon slices can be removed if desired.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the jam in hot jars, screw on the scalded lids and let cool, then transfer to the pantry. If you really want to try this preparation, then put a small part in a bowl or bowl.
