Courgette or marrow jam is a pleasant solution to a 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 (affiliate link) 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
