Yah! Another delicious way to use excess zucchini from my garden. I followed the advice of a former reviewer and added a 1/2 box of sure-jell and pureed the cooked mixture a bit before pouring it into the jars to seal. I also added 1 T. of butter when I added the Jell-O and lemon juice to reduce the amount of foam. Can't wait to try other flavors...deliciously sweet! Will definitely make this again for my family and for gifts!

This is a soft serve jam, since it does not use pectin. It tasted pretty good, except it was a little on the sweet side. Cool thing is, since it does not need pectin, you can scale down the sugar a bit if needed. I might do 3 to 4 c. of sugar rather than 5 next time. It's a good recipe, it's a keeper for sure.

Surprisingly delicious and tasty. :-) What a nice surprise and twist to a new jam recipe. My only slight gripe is the color. Due to the strawberry gelatin... the jam turns out to be a candy apple bright colored red and not exactly the color strawberry jam is naturally. I might next time add a drop of red food coloring in an attempt to slightly deepen the color a bit.

I didn't care for this. I love the idea - I was so facinated with this recipe I had to try it. Unfortunately, it did not turn out well for me. The end result was an overly sweet jar of stringy, googy, sticky Jello flavored jelly. I thought the zucchini would break down but it was still very much intact. I think the other reviewer who cooked and blended her zucchini had the right idea. Knowing that, I still wouldn't make this again because I didn't enjoy the flavor of Jello as jelly.

What to do with all the extra zucchini??? This was a yummy recipe that my whole family enjoyed! I made a total of 50 pint jars and I will make this every year.

We decided to try this.....and I have to say it was a success. My sister-in-law called me today and told me it was the best "strawberry" jam she has ever tasted.....I didn't tell her it was zucchini. I did peel, seed and puree the zucchini and added about 1/2 box of pectin - just to make sure it would set up. Thanks for the great recipe. I will make it again.
