Zucchini Marmalade

Recipe Information
Source: Charlotte Serves/Makes:12 half pints Ingredients 6 pounds Zucchini, peeled, cut and seeded 12 cups (2825 ml) white sugar 3 oranges with peel 2 lemons with peel 2 oz (56 grm). crystallized ginger Preparation Put zucchini through food grinder into bowl. Pour sugar over top. Cover and let stand on counter overnight. In morning, transfer to large pot. Cut oranges and lemons onto wedges, remove seeds. Put through food grinder with ginger. Add ground ingredients to zucchini and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Boil until thickened,stirring occasionally--this will take about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Cool a small spoonful on chilled saucer to see if it jells. Fill hot sterilized jars to within 1/4 inch of top. Seal. 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.
