ZUCCHINI GINGER JAM
This zucchini jam tastes just like marmalade. The recipe was given to me by my Aunt many years ago, however, I improvised and made it taste even better. For a different flavor you may wish to try using a combination of Jello's, apricot and orange, peach and orange or raspberry and orange. This jam also freezes well.

I came up with this sweet and spicy jam after picking goodies from my garden and looking at Recipe #95600 which I posted 4 years ago. Had home growing Habaneros so added and what more do I need to say? This would be great served over a grilled chicken or fish.
