Option 1: Classic zucchini jam with lemon

For making jam, it is better to use white or yellow zucchini, green ones will not turn out very beautifully. The recipe indicates net weight without pulp and skin. In the classic version, sugar and the main ingredient are added in equal proportions. Lemon is much less, the seeds must be removed immediately.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of zucchini;
  • 1 kg of sugar;
  • 1 lemon.

A step-by-step recipe for classic zucchini jam

Cut the peeled zucchini first into long strips, then into neat cubes. Average size is about one centimeter. You can make the pieces a little larger or smaller, sometimes they are crumbled into strips, which is also allowed. Pour the zucchini into a bowl for making jam. This can be a saucepan or a small basin.

Fill the zucchini with granulated sugar on top, level it and leave it to extract juice. Since the vegetable itself contains a lot of water, a couple of hours is enough.

After separating the juice, the zucchini with sugar must be mixed and put on the stove. Let it boil, boil for a couple of minutes, set aside for two hours to cool. Let it boil again and cool, repeat again.

Chop the lemon. You can grind, but it is better to cut into small pieces. Add to the zucchini and cook on the stove for the last time. Now we boil for 15-20 minutes.

While the jam is being prepared for the last time, we sterilize the lids with jars. The dishes must be clean, dry, otherwise the workpiece may sour during storage. We pour out a sweet treat and roll up the lids. Leave it to cool completely, then put it in a cool place.

If the zucchini is very young and the skin is not visible, then you can leave it, just cut into cubes, but it is better to remove the pulp, it is too loose, loses its shape, such pieces will not look very beautiful in jam.

Option 2: Quick Zucchini Jam with Lemon Recipe

This jam is prepared in one go, you do not need to cool anything and bring to a boil several times. You need a meat grinder to grind zucchini, a blender will not work. We insert the mesh with the largest cells in order to get small pieces at the exit.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of zucchini;
  • 0.8 kg of sugar;
  • 0.14 kg lemon.

How to quickly make squash jam

Pass the peeled squash pulp through a meat grinder. Add sugar, stir and leave for literally ten minutes, this time will be quite enough for the first juice to appear. Then we put on the stove and slowly heat the zucchini jam over low heat.

After boiling, cook the zucchini for a quarter of an hour. There is time to make a lemon. First, rinse the citrus thoroughly. It is better to use a brush to remove plaque and other dirt from the citrus. Then cut into pieces, take out all the bones and also twist through a meat grinder.

Add lemon to the zucchini and now cook for another 20 minutes. We look at the consistency. After cooling, the mass will become a little thicker.

We spread the zucchini mass in sterile jars of any size, immediately roll up with sealed lids, which also need to be processed, usually just pour boiling water or boil for a minute.

If you grind the jam with a blender, and then boil it until thick, you get a wonderful marrow jam. Only you need to evaporate moisture carefully and constantly monitor, the thickening mass can easily burn.

Option 3: Zucchini jam with lemon and orange

This version of zucchini jam with lemon was very popular in the 90s of the last century, when there was a shortage of some products. This delicacy is especially fond of the northerners and Siberians, since the cost of fruits and berries is high. We take juicy, fresh oranges and lemons so that the delicacy has a pronounced and bright aroma.

Ingredients

  • 2 kg of zucchini;
  • 1.6 kg of sugar;
  • 1 lemon;
  • 2 oranges.

How to cook

Cut the zucchini pulp into small cubes. If the skin is thin, then you do not need to peel off, you can leave it. Sprinkle the pieces with granulated sugar and let stand for exactly two hours. But you can do this in the evening to start making jam in the morning. In this case, it is advisable to cover the dishes and refrigerate.

Finely chop the oranges together with the peel. If suddenly it is thick, it can taste bitter. In this case, you can add chopped zest and chopped pulp to the jam, bypassing the white dense part. We also cut the lemon and add all the citruses to the zucchini.

After combining the ingredients, you can put the jam on the stove. After boiling, cook for a quarter of an hour, then cool for five hours. After that, we boil for another 15-20 minutes, put the squash jam in jars, roll it up.

If there is only one orange at home, then you can use it to cook only with it and lemon, or add a little more zest, it is she who gives the desired aroma and masks the zucchini.

Option 4: Zucchini Jam with Lemon and Nuts

A very interesting version of thick squash jam with syrup cooking. In addition, walnuts are added to it, you do not need to grind them, let enough large pieces of kernels remain, you can even quarters.

Ingredients

  • 150 g of nuts;
  • 1 kg of zucchini;
  • 1 lemon;
  • 800 g of sugar.

Step by step recipe

Cut the zucchini into pieces, sprinkle with sugar and lay in layers, leave for at least four hours, almost all the sugar should melt, a lot of juice will come out. We take out pieces of zucchini with a slotted spoon. We put the liquid with sugar on the stove and prepare the syrup for a quarter of an hour, cook over a fairly high heat.

Put slices of zucchini into boiling syrup and cook for another ten minutes. If the zucchini is not quite young and the pieces are harsh, then we increase the time to a quarter of an hour. Turn it off, cool to room temperature, or just leave it for four hours. The zucchini pieces should be soaked.

Now finely chop the lemon, take out the seeds, and leave the skin, prepare the walnuts. We select all litter and small particles, we take only large pieces. Add with citrus to zucchini.

We put the jam on the stove and you can start sterilizing the cans at the same time. Bring the zucchini to a boil over high heat, then reduce and cook for 20 minutes along with the nuts, do not actively gurgle. If there is foam on top, then carefully collect with a spoon and discard.

It remains only to put the boiling jam in jars, roll up. After complete cooling, we check the lid and send the sweet blank to a cool place.

Such jam can be prepared not only with walnuts, but also with almonds, sometimes sweet kernels of apricot kernels are used, it turns out very fragrant and tasty.

Option 5: Zucchini jam with lemon and dried apricots

Sunny and incredibly aromatic jam with the smell of ripe apricots. Dried apricots are not very much added to it, but thanks to lemon and spices, the zucchini taste is remarkably masked.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of sugar;
  • 1 kg zucchini;
  • 150 g dried apricots;
  • 1 lemon;
  • 1 cinnamon stick;
  • 1 cm of ginger root.

How to cook

Cut the zucchini, combine with sugar, leave for a couple of hours. We wash the dried apricots, it is better to pour over boiling water in order to surely wash off the plaque and processing agents with which dried fruits are covered.

We put the zucchini on the stove, boil for 10 minutes, add dried apricots, bring to a boil and leave to cool completely. Then bring it to a boil again and let it brew for 3-4 hours.

Finely chop the lemon. We add to the jam at the last stage of cooking, do not forget to take out all the seeds, they are not needed. If citrus with a thick skin, then cut and grind the zest, cut the pulp separately, discard the white crusts, the jam will taste bitter with them.

We throw a cinnamon stick, you can break it into several parts. Cooking zucchini jam a quarter of an hour after boiling, pour it into sterile jars.

By this principle, you can prepare squash jam with the addition of other dried fruits. Raisins, prunes, even apples and pears are fine and will share their taste. It is advisable not to use too soft and processed foods that quickly lose their shape in the syrup.
