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.

  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.
