excellent! I made this with the zucchini unpeeled but seeded and using strawberry kiwi jello. The zucchini peels turned dark, so I added enough red food coloring to make the jam pink. It looks like real strawberry jam. My friends with Chrone's disease can eat this!

You can't tell it has zucchini in it. I even had my kids eat it and they never knew. Thanks for the recipe.

I love to make this jam! I have been making it for a few years now and it is always a huge hit! When I make it at our house, It is called Gummy Bear Jam, named by my kids!

this is the quickest jam i've ever made. it's also the cheapest i've made and everyone loves it! i used a food processor with the smallest grating attachment to shred the zuchinni and an ice cream scoop to get out the seeds. this recipe was just what i was looking for!!! i have way too much zucchini(who doesn't) and this recipe was just what i needed. i've made 2 batches so far and am about to make 3 more. i gave away the first batch and everyone i gave it to enjoyed it and was shocked when i told them it was zuchinni. i used orange jello for the second batch (it's all i had in the house) and it turned out too. i think it's more of a kids jam flavour, but they're eating zuchinni-yeah! thanks soo much for posting! i'll be making this every summer.
