@wildblackberryacres: I know it sounds crazy… but don’t throw away those giant zucchini. 🍍 This is one of those old-fashioned recipes that proves our grandparents knew how to make the most of what they had. Once it’s canned, this mock pineapple is delicious on its own, over ice cream, in cakes, upside-down cakes, fruit salad, or anywhere you’d use pineapple. If your zucchini got away from you this year, this might just become your new favorite way to use it. 🍍 Mock Pineapple Recipe Ingredients: • 4 quarts (about 16 cups) peeled, deseeded, and cubed zucchini (½-inch pieces) • 46 oz unsweetened pineapple juice • 1½ cups bottled lemon juice (required for safe acidity when canning) • 3 cups granulated sugar Directions: 1. Peel the zucchini, remove the seeds and spongy center, and cut into ½-inch cubes. 2. In a large non-reactive pot, combine the zucchini, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and sugar. 3. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. 4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. 5. Ladle into sterilized pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. 6. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 20 minutes. Save this one for zucchini season, you’ll thank yourself later! #HomesteadKitchen #ZucchiniRecipes #FoodPreservation #WaterBathCanning #WildBlackberryAcres
