This golden jam condiment gets its name from yellow squash, lemons, and ginger that are simmered until sticky.

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Lemon     Summer     Yellow Squash     House & Garden

Yield Makes about 5 8-ounce glasses

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds very young yellow squash
6 cups sugar
juice of 3 large lemons
grated rind of 3 large lemons
4 teaspoons powdered ginger

Steps:

  • Scrub the squash and cut off the ends. Grind the squash in a meat grinder, using the coarsest blade, mix with the sugar, and leave overnight. The next day, transfer the squash, sugar and accumulated juices to a large pot. Add remaining ingredients, and cook over low heat for about 1 hour, until a thermometer registers 220° or until squash is translucent and the juices thickened. Pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses, and cover with a thin layer of melted paraffin. When the paraffin has hardened, cover the glasses and store.

FREEZER JAM

This is a great way to make jam because it's simple, lower in sugar, and lets the flavor of ripe fruit shine. Our method makes it a cinch to save the last of your favorite summer produce, like nectarines, plums, or berries. The key ingredient is pectin, which gives this jam the right consistency. The recipe is so easy, you might just need a second freezer!
