Finger-Licking Slow-Cooker Zucchini Spread for the Winter

A tempting zucchini preserve for winter — make it in the slow cooker! I love putting up preserves in my slow cooker — it's so quick, and there are no pans or pots to juggle, just one bowl. If you have the same trusty helper, give my zucchini spread a try. It's incredibly tasty and looks appetizing — the vegetables don't cook down to mush but hold their shape, which I really like.

    1. Let's start with the prep:
    • wash the zucchini, peel them, remove the seeds (unless they're very young and tender), and cut into cubes;
    • peel the onion, wash it, and cut it into cubes as well;
    • peel the garlic and chop it with a knife;
    • wash the tomatoes and grate them — the skin will stay in your hand, so just discard it;
    • wash the parsley and finely chop it.
    1. Now on to the cooking itself:
    • put the onion in the slow cooker and pour in half the sunflower oil;
    • select the "Multicook" setting and set the temperature to 320°F (160°C);
    • sauté the onion for about 5 minutes;
    • add the zucchini, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes;
    • add the grated tomato, salt, and pepper, lower the temperature to 250°F (120°C), and cook for 15 minutes;
    • at this point add the parsley and garlic, along with the vinegar essence and the remaining sunflower oil;
    • cook for another 10 minutes, then switch the slow cooker to "Keep Warm" and leave it covered for 20 minutes;
    • once the time is up, pack the vegetables into sterile jars and seal them with metal lids that you've first scalded with boiling water.
  • Wrap the jars in something warm and leave them to cool for a day, then store them in the refrigerator.
  • Enjoy — and share it with your family!
