Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Use fresh, firm zucchini that are about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they will have a higher water content and will not set properly.
- Trim the zucchini properly: Cut off the blossom end and the stem end of the zucchini. Then, cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Cook the zucchini until it is soft: Cook the zucchini in a large pot over medium heat until it is soft and translucent. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Add the sugar and pectin: Once the zucchini is cooked, add the sugar and pectin. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool: Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal them tightly.
