Comments
I actually ground the fruit up the day before and added it on top of the zucchini. Saves cleaning up twice.

To test jams - place 1 tsp on chilled saucer. Chill. It should form a top skin, not run on saucer. A path drawn through with a spoon should reamin intact. Remove pot from heat when testing to prevent overcooking.

This is a nice orange coloured marmalade. Add a piece of gingham tied around the top with ribbon or rafia and give away as gifts at Xmas time. A good way to use up excess Zucchini.
