Courgette or marrow jam is a pleasant solution to a courgette glut.
courgette-glut
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds courgette or marrow deseeded – in skin unless very tough- chopped
- 6 lemons – sliced really thinly with skin
- 2 pounds preserving sugar
Method:
- Place chopped cougette/marrow in pan with finely sliced lemons
- Add cold water so that the mixture is only just covered
- Cook the mixture very gently until it is really soft
- Add the preserving sugar & simmer gently, stirring all the while, until the sugar is dissolved
- Turn the heat up and boil rapidly until setting point is reached
- Setting point will be reached when a small drop of the mixture solidifies when it touches a cold plate
- Pour the courgette / marrow jam into warmed, sterilised jars & seal
