To make jam, prepare the zucchini: cut the skin from them, cut into small cubes and put it to cook on a slow fire. Peel the ginger from the crust and cut as small as possible.
The next stage is the preparation of lemons. In cooking, in order for the lemon to be more fragrant, you need to pour boiling water over it. Washed lemons are cut into pieces together with the zest and mixed with zucchini. Cover everything with granulated sugar, add ground cinnamon and mix gently. Cook for 30-40 minutes. When cooking, stir the jam with a wooden spatula so that it does not burn.
The key to the safety of the crop is proper storage. Therefore, we preserve our jam in jars.
Be sure to sterilize the glass jars. Do not wait until they cool down, fill with jam and roll up with metal lids. Turn the jars upside down until completely cooled.
And now just be glad that you know a new recipe, and that the shelves of your cellar have become tighter.
