Zucchini with cherry plum as pineapples for winter

An original treat! You can't tell the difference from canned pineapples! I've been using this recipe for years - it turns out delicious! The main thing is not to tell relatives and guests that these are zucchini, otherwise they may refuse to try. And in general, you can't guess by taste that a vegetable is floating in sweet syrup.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 1 h 20 min

1. Wash and peel the zucchini. Cut them into circles as thick as usual for canned pineapples - about 1 cm.

2. Cut out the middle of the cut zucchini, you can do this, for example, with a glass, so that the circles are even.

3. Arrange the zucchini in clean jars (you will need about 5-6 cans with a volume of 1 liter or a smaller number of larger ones), add the cherry plum there.

4. Put 2 cloves in each jar.

5. Prepare the syrup: bring the water to a boil, add sugar to it, stirring, wait until it is all dissolved. Add citric acid and mix.

6. Pour hot syrup over jars with zucchini and cherry plum.

7. Pour water into a large saucepan, be sure to put a towel on the bottom, on which put the jars. They should be in the water up to "shoulders". Bring them to a boil and sterilize them for about 20 minutes.

8. Roll up the jars with sterile lids, wrap them up and let them cool upside down.

Store ready-made zucchini with cherry plum in a cool dark place.
