Last batch

Made my last batch of Zucchini jam for this season. Pulled the zucchini plants out on the weekend in our gardening frenzy., so there will be no more zucchinis from our garden. If your wondering what Zucchini jam is (the name doesn't really give you any idea, especially when we usually use zucchinis for savoury dishes)...it tastes and has a consistency like lemon butter/curd. We eat it on toast, on sandwiches; I've made zucchini jam and dark chocolate scrolls and apparently you can substitute it for lemon curd in lemon meringue pie (I haven't tried this yet, but might over winter some time). And the really great thing about it is it lasts so much longer than lemon curd, because it is actually a jam, it has a shelf life of 12 months!
