Recipe #1

Zucchini Jam with Orange and Lemon:

Ingredients:

• zucchini - 800 g.
• orange - 2 pcs.
• lemon - 1 pc.
• sugar - 400 g.

Cooking:

Oranges and lemon must be washed with a brush and poured several times with boiling water. Cut the fruit into slices and take out the seeds. Now you need to grind them with a blender. If you have good oranges with a thin skin, then grind with it. Our oranges are not very good now, so I took off the skin. Transfer fruit puree to a mixing bowl.

We wash the zucchini, remove the skin and seeds. Grate for Korean carrots. Add to oranges and lemon. Pour out the sugar.

Now you need to mix everything well so that the sugar dissolves. If your zucchini is not juicy, then you can turn on the “baking” mode for 5-7 minutes. The sugar will dissolve faster.

After that, we put our zucchini jam on the “stewing” mode for 1.5 hours.

A small note. If the jam turns out to be liquid, open the multicooker lid for 20 minutes during cooking. Excess moisture will evaporate, and the squash jam will be thicker.

Pour the finished zucchini jam into sterilized jars, roll up and put away in a dark place. Next, we are waiting for an opportunity to surprise guests.

Happy tea!!!
