This unusual combination surprises many with its taste. The aftertaste and sourness of the cherry plum give the usual zucchini a flavor shade resembling pineapple. Even during the cooking process, when pouring cherry plums and zucchini with syrup, the smell of pineapple is already felt. To deepen the flavor range, various spices are used in this preparation. In addition to spices, you can add lemon zest, I will add cloves and dried mint leaves. The recipe is given for 3 liter cans.

Cut the peeled zucchini into circles or halves, depending on their size. Add to the jars with cherry plum, fill the jars with boiling water up to the neck and let it warm up for 15 minutes.

Once upon a time, a friend of mine treated me to a very unusual jam and offered to guess what it was made of. After the twentieth attempt, I gave up, because the taste was good, unusual, with sourness, but nothing of the familiar tastes reminded me. I was quite surprised when she told me that it was zucchini jam with lemon. After this incident, I liked it interesting and I started experimenting. In addition to jam, I found a recipe for harvesting zucchini with cherry plum on the Internet, I upgraded it somewhat to my taste and today I suggest you prepare this simple dessert preparation from simple products. You can store it both in the basement and in the apartment, it is perfectly worth it. Have a delicious and healthy winter and bon appetit!
