Zucchini Jam with Lemon for Winter
Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that can be used to make not only excellent caviar and tasty marinated snacks, but also desserts. One of them is zucchini jam combined with various fruits and berries. The most delicious is the zucchini jam with lemon for winter, which tastes like pineapple. Indeed, pieces of zucchini, after being boiled in syrup with lemon, become similar to pieces of pineapple, and what an aroma this jam has! It can be served with yeast pancakes with milk and fritters, waffles, or simply enjoyed with tea.

- zucchini - 1 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- lemon - 1 pc;
- water - 1 cup.
Preparation
- Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making zucchini jam with lemon for winter. Choose young zucchini with thin skin and no seeds. The jam made from such zucchini will be tastier and more tender.
- Peel the zucchini with a vegetable peeler.
- Cut the zucchini into small cubes. If there are seeds, they should be removed.
- Cut the lemon into small cubes. You can peel it beforehand, but it is also perfectly fine to use it with the skin.
- In a pot, combine the zucchini and lemon cubes, add water and sugar. Mix and place on the stove.
- Slowly bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. This jam will be cooked in three batches, which will keep the pieces of zucchini intact, while the syrup will be thick and very aromatic. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 8-10 hours. Usually, I start cooking this jam in the morning, then boil it in the evening, and the last time in the morning.
- This is what the jam looks like after the second boiling.
- Boil the jam for the third time for 10 minutes and pour it into clean, sterilized jars.
- Seal the jars with a metal lid and leave them until completely cool.
- Delicious and aromatic zucchini jam with lemon for winter is ready. Enjoy your tea!
