ZUCCHINI PEACH JELLY/JAM
6 cups shredded peeled zucchini
6 cups sugar
2 T lemon juice
1 can crushed pineapple with juice
2 pkgs peach Jello
In a large pan, combine zucchini, sugar, lemon juice & pineapple with juice; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, at a full boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in Jello. Spoon into clean jelly jars. Cover & cool, store in fridge.
So easy & apparently, really good. I'm not a fan of zucchini (go figure) but my son & the co-workers I've shared with really like it. I left the shreds of zucchini in, but of course to make it jelly you would strain it out. I'm going to make zucchini strawberry jam next because I also have a ton of strawberries! I've also found a recipe for zucchini strawberry cake, so I'll give that one a go as well.
Let me know if you have any superb zucchini recipes! We love to try new things!

Hi Michelle, you are so right about the zucchinis suddenly getting huge - happens to us every year LOL! The other thing I do with zucchini (before they are too big) is finely grate them along with finely grated carrot and put them in rissoles mix (mincemeat, onion etc) and in spaghetti sauce mix - it cooks down so you don't know it's there (which is especially good for my 8 yo DD LOL) - makes the mix nice and moist. I have never heard of putting them in jam - I will have to give it a whirl! I don't like zucchini itself as a vegetable - but it is great in things. My DH slices them thickly, seasons them and BBQ's them but I reckon they taste blrrrrhhhh that way.
