Start by cutting and deseeding your zucchini. Then grate your zucchini. I grate a lot so I can do several batches at a time.
Put 6 cups grated zucchini in a pan and add 1/4 cup lemon juice. Cook for about 10 minutes until the zucchini is clear.
Add 5 1/2 cups sugar and 1 can of crushed pineapple.[ If you want a real firm jam you can add a package of sure-jell. It will set up with out but not as firm]
At first it will look like it isn't enough liquid but it will be. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. .
I do strawberry, peach, berry blue, grape, and orange, they are all good but my favorite is the peach and strawberry.
Zucchini Jam

Put grated zucchini in a pan and add lemon juice. Cook for about 10 minutes until the zucchini is clear.
Add sugar and crushed pineapple.[ If you want a real firm jam you can add a package of sure-jell. It will set up with out but not as firm]
