Ingredients
2 pounds zucchini, washed and grated
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 can (13 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
5 cups sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
  1. Put zucchini into a large kettle and add lemon peel, lemon juice, and pineapple. 
  2. Bring ingredients to a boil over high heat. Lower heat and continue to simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender. 
  3. Add pectin. Bring to a boil again, and stir in the sugar and ginger. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. 
  4. Remove from heat and skim off the foam. Stir for 5 minutes to prevent the zucchini from floating. 
  5. Ladle into sterilized jars, seal, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
