directions

Have your 5 clean glass pint jars with water in them and put on a cookie sheet in the oven on 200 degrees. Get your lids in a pan with hot water on the stove getting ready cause this is a very quick recipe.
Bring 1/2 cup water and 6 cups of zucchini to a boil thel let simmer for 6 minutes.
Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple and let boil for 6 minutes.
Add in the Jello (I used Cherry but you can use any flavor you like Raspberry is good as well as Orange) Boil 2 minutes.
Add surejell and boil for 1 minute.
Turn off heat and move pot to a cool burner, take jars out of the oven carefully pour out water and begin to ladle concoction into the hot jars.
Wipe rims, Put lids and rings on then turn jars upside down for 5 minutes --.
NOTE: this is a jam not a jelly, and this will look very loose, but after cools and you put in the fridge before eating it will thicken even more -- very tasty especially on homemade hot rolls mmm.

Can I make this with sugar free Jello?

Do you have to use jello or can you use fresh fruit? ( I can't have the dye in jello)

Good recipe but no way 6 cups of sugar is needed!! I only used 4 cups and it is still way too sweet. Will make it again with only 3 cups and it will be perfect. I used raspberry jello. You do need to remove seeds and peel zuchhini first.

do I have to use Pineapple?

I'm new at making jam. Does this jam have to be refrigerated?

Excellent way to use up zucchini! I thought I had made every type of jam until I found this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, and it turned out fine. It looked like it wasn't going to set up, but I think it will as stated in the directions. I used strawberry jello, and it is very good.

Serena this jam recipe is great! I had a large zucchini to use up and wanted to make jam and I chose yours. The only changes I made were: After cooking the shredded zucchini for 6 minutes and then adding the sugar, lemon juice,and pineapple I used my immersion blender and whipped up those ingredients because I didn't want shreds of zucchini and chunks of pineapple. I also used peach jello. This looks so pretty in the jar kinda like apple butter. Thanks so much for posting!

I Love to cook. I started first by getting all of my moms old family recipes and then my favorites continued by passed on recipes of friends and old co workers and I put them all in the computer ONE BY ONE in catigories, tedious but worth it cause now I have THE best cookbook ever. Almost every recipe in my book is tried and true. Now I have a new book I am making myself. I am trying out the Pressure Cooking arena and the Canning also. I hope to learn a lot.
