Made some last fall when I had zucchini in the garden, used a food processor for shredding the zucchini, worked great. I made enough to give, for Christmas gifts. I like the name ot it, I had a receipe, but that was only called Zucchini Jam, so when you give this for gifts, it has a fancy name.

Was easy to make, Tastes great, my kids love it, and it's great for my son who can't have jam/jelly as he's allergic to pectin. Made it a few times now and will keep this recipe around for years to come :)

Pina Colada Jam--with zucchini at its peak season, this recipe is a great way to use the abundance. It freezes well, so you can have a little island paradise any time of year.

Easy and beautiful--makes a lovely gift. But way too sweet. Is there anything that can be done to temper that?

I used one pectin and one gelatin. Set up great. We love this with coconut shrimp!

I absolutely love this! Just made it, but we immediately put lids on the jars so they would seal, waiting to see if it sets. I am thinking maybe putting half pectin half jello if it doesn't.

Great recipe. Just wondering if it can be canned in a hot water bath and shelved or only as freezer jam or refrigerated as the recipe states????

Oh - so overly sugary, are you sure it needs 2 pkg of jello, found sugar crystals on top of jar. Have been canning 47 yrs and inticed by ingredients ( anything using zuccini, is an eyecatcher). Guess I was looking for a more tropical taste - jello overwhelming. Maybe if it came sugar free, that usually has more fruit taste to it.
