The recipe came from Ball's new book of canning, which truly is new. I'd call this a cookbook that is extremely diverse in it's ideas and recipes. Stay tuned, I'll have a pickle recipe to share soon that I'm pretty excited to try:@)

Zucchini Bread Jam-from The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving

- Add everything except sugar to 6 quart stainless steel or enameled cast iron pot. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Add sugar, stir to dissolve, bring to rolling boil. Boil for one minute, remove from heat.
- Ladle into sterilized jars, leave 1/4" head space. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, add lids and rings.
