Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect 6 (½-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Combine zucchini and sugar in a large pot over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture begins to boil, about 10 minutes. Stir in gelatin and lemon juice; continue simmering, 5 minutes more, stirring constantly.
  3. 3 Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼-inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove jars from the stockpot; cool, spaced several inches apart, to room temperature, 4 hours or longer. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place zucchini slices into a 1-gallon or larger glass jar or crock. Combine 2 cups water (or the amount needed to cover zucchini) and pickling lime in a nonreactive bowl until well combined; pour over zucchini (it should completely cover zucchini). Cover the jar with plastic wrap; set aside for 24 hours.
  2. 2 Drain zucchini slices in a colander in the sink; rinse very well under running water to remove all the lime. Wash the glass jar thoroughly; place zucchini back into the jar. Cover with fresh cool water; set aside for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. 3 Drain zucchini; rinse again. Place zucchini in a large pot; stir in 1 cup vinegar, food coloring, and alum. Add enough water to cover zucchini; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 2 hours. Drain and discard liquid. Return zucchini to the glass jar.
  4. 4 Combine sugar, 3 cups water, remaining 1 cup vinegar, cinnamon sticks, and Red Hot candies in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar and candies dissolve. Pour syrup over zucchini, cover, and set aside for 24 hours.
  5. 5 Strain zucchini; transfer syrup to a small saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, inspect 8 (½-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, then simmer jars until mock apple rings are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  7. 7 Pack zucchini slices into hot, sterilized jars, then pour in hot syrup, filling to within ¼ inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly.
  8. 8 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 20 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, on a cloth-covered or wood surface, until cool, 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

  1. 1 Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off ends, then slice zucchini into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl; toss in zucchini slices, mixing thoroughly to coat.
  2. 2 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place zucchini slices into hot oil and fry over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Watch zucchini closely, adding more oil if they are browning too quickly. When zucchini slices are golden brown on one side, flip to brown on other side. They will clump together as they cook but that is what you want.
  3. 3 When zucchini slices are evenly browned, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid; steam until zucchini is slightly tender. Turn zucchini, replace lid, and steam until soft. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high; fry slices on both sides until crisp. Serve hot.
