This recipe is no longer safe for canning. The zucchini can compact so tightly that pressure canning is not able to destroy botulism spores. For the health of your family, please DO NOT CAN THIS RECIPE. I just threw out all the jars I had canned.

Tips:

Choose firm and tender zucchini for canning, as softer zucchini will become mushy during the canning process.
Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for the sauce, as they will provide the best flavor.
If you do not have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead. However, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
You can add other vegetables to the sauce, such as onions, peppers, or carrots. This will add flavor and texture to the sauce.
Be sure to sterilize your jars and lids before canning the zucchini. This will help to prevent spoilage.
Process the zucchini in a boiling water bath for the recommended amount of time. This will ensure that the zucchini is safe to eat.
