candied zucchini
- 6 medium zucchini, very firm, peeled
- 2 cups sugar, granulated

directions
- .Make syrup by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2" cubes.
- Drop cubes into boiling syrup and cook over low heat only until barely tender (they will become somewhat translucent).
- Chill in the syrup overnight.

- I know I saw where someone used Kool-Aid to flavor it. Any extract should work, too.
