So last year I watched this video. I canned 3 dozen jars of zucchini and pineapple juice following your recipe for canning. Fast-forward to today. I made zucchini bread with the zucchini/ pineapple juice. It turned out so good. First I too 2 pints and drained the zucchini. While it was draining, I started the oven 350 degrees than oiled the bread pan. Then I mixed together 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Mix well. Then back to zucchini I really drained it well so it was dryer. Mixed that in. It was a heaping cup. Another bowl for the dry goods. Whisk together 1 3/4 c flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Mix sifted dry ingredients with mixed wet ingredients. I used a spatula and just folded it together. Do not over stir. Poured it in the greased pan. Baked for 60 minutes. It turned out so good...thank you so much for the canning idea of zucchini with the pineapple juice. I will definitely be doing it again this year. I have plans to make bread for Christmas and send 2 pints with a recipe card. Thanks for inspiring me so much!
Girl you are a genius!!! So instead of pineapple juice I used fresh pressed applesauce because we have an abundance of apples! So now I have a butter substitute and the bread filling all in one jar!!! Thank you
I made this today! Oh. My. GOSH!!! It is so good, and if I didn't know it was zucchini I would never know that it's NOT pineapple. I will do this with my zucchini from now on! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Hello Rachel- New to your channel and starting to view your videos by subject. This is a this terrific recipe! We have two freezers and a huge back wall in the basement for canned goods. LIke you, I have to decide what to put into the freezers. We built our farm cottage at the base of our family farm in 2016. It was designed for both on or off grid. My Grandmother Hazel taught me the New Hampshire OLD WAYS, which has proved invaluable! However besides using our 1930 kitchen wood stove during the colder months, I need to take advantage of the modern conveniences, such Instant Pot, All-American pressure canner and Kitchen Aid appliances. I am now officially retired this spring, from working outside the farm and ready to hit the ground running 🏃 And I am so going to enjoy perusing through your videos, while sitting down with my morning coffee. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos! ~ Diane
Do you have a dehydrator? You can dehydrate zucchini too and use it for chips/dips, meatloaf, in spaghetti sauce, breads, cookies, soups, stews, breakfast casseroles, etc…plus many, many more uses. I even saw a video where this lady dehydrated zucchini and then ground it into a powder and used it 1/1 as a gluten free powder. 💕🌸💕
I absolutely love your canning videos! They aren't just your average canning recipes. You are giving me so many other options for all of my garden produce! This Missouri Momma is very thankful for that! Keep up the great inspiration!
You’re so fun to watch…love your spirit and hearing your stories about family. You inspire me to try some things on your list! Will have to try your pickled coleslaw for sure. Grandkids (AKA “eating machines!”)are in LOVE with your zucchini pineapple. Everyone got their own jar for Christmas last year!🤣Thanks!!!
Oh my goodness!!!! I just did this with my cuccuzzas and it turned out amazing!!!!! It tastes just like crushed pineapples!!!!! Thank u thank you thank you!!!!! I'm learning sooooo much from you... First time gardener and canner here.. learning at 63❣️. You are such a sweetie... You could call it MOCK PINEAPPLE for sure!!!
I have some zucchini I harvested this morning that needs something done with it, this sounds delicious. I already canned pickles and potatoes today but I will definitely try it tomorrow. Maybe this winter you can work on the cookbook, everything I’ve tried of yours so far has been delicious!
this year was the first I ever heard of this mock pineapple business... so just got me some pineapple juice and real lemon and am going for it... will try both chunks and shredded! this is absolutely brilliant! YAY
C G: What do you use crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks for? They are an ingredient in many types of smoothies, muffins, cakes, breads and other desserts, and some people even like pineapple on their pizza. This can be used in every way that pineapple is used.
One of my favorite recipes is adding crushed pineapple to cream cheese to make a spread/dip for crackers bagels etc. I am so going to try this! This spring I put in 20 hills of zucchini as I had a ton of aging seed and expected on raising a hog thinking this would be free food. Well we didn’t get the hog and I currently have 75 pounds out of 2 pickings 😱😱😱😱😵💫 (Neighbors expect to find squash in your mailbox’s!!!!!)
I cubed some yellow summer squash and used the same recipe. My husband KNEW I was canning it to be a pineapple substitute. I gave him 1 chunk after the 20 minute simmer and he said , Yeah. That's pineapple." I told him it was the squash and he said it is magic. At that point even the texture was firm like pineapple...haven't used it canned yet. Thinking the chunks I will use in Asian stir-fries. Will do some shredded too for bread, etc..
@@rennells I live in SE Iowa, and there have been 2 tremors in 50+ years that rattled dishes. I know we are experiencing greater natural disasters, but really haven't taken any extra precautions for earthquakes. Honestly, I don't even know how you do that. Mine are in the basement for storage because we do experience tornadoes. Any hints you can give are welcome.
@@Maranatha_Acres the yellow squash even has the right color. I used a potato peeler and took just the outer layer off which left a lot of the yellow color. I have heard some people will slice across the zucchini/squash and cut a hole in the middle to resemble pineapple rings.
@@hollyhock3945 I live in the mountain west where we are more earthquake prone. A woman shared with us going thru a big quake in California - all of their home canned jars shattered. It was a huge mess and a huge loss. Someone came up with an idea for working with a box making facility in the area to create a box that fits 6 quart jars, with cardboard inserts to go in between each bottle. You can even use the containers the bottles come in and make sure they have cardboard or some kind of cushion between each bottle. It's not as pretty on the shelf and it's a good idea to label what's inside the box, but after experiencing a greater than 5 point here last year, we're grateful to have them tucked safely into boxes. You may even want to use some of the Amazon shipping boxes, or whatever. It takes a little more creativity storing them on shelves. This is definitely not a great idea for those who store their jars on shelves in their living areas, just syaing!
The old Oster Kitchen Center shredding, slicing chopping attachment is so fast easy clean up. It shoots it into a bowl so very little scaping out a container like a food processor requires. A long english cucumber cuts in 30-45 seconds perfect uniform slices every time. Often at second hand stores.
Wanted to share this with you. I posting the post here in case there is no videos . But enjoy :) Zucchini flour. Might be old news to some, but you never know right. With rising concerns on wheat costs just thought I’d share it. There’s probably fancier ways of doing this out there, but here’s how I learned. Easy peasy. Nothing to it. We love and make tons of zucchini flour every year. You may have heard it called Amish flour or troops flour before. It’s a Staple in Amish and Mennonite household for generations here. It was also embraced in the 1940’s during rationing. You let your zucchini grow, oversized is actually better. Large to extra large. Marrow sized. I peel mine with a carrot peeler, into thin even strips for less drying time. Or slide it through a mandolin for speed of prep. Run it through the electronic dehydrator or just thread it. . No large seeds if possible for finer texture. Everything else is fine. It must be absolutely dry. It’s essential. If in doubt always dry it more, any moisture will ruin it during storage Then run it through a food processor or hand grinder until you have a powdered consistency. It will be a marbled green looking power. Texture is similar to a good quality whole wheat flour. That is zucchini flour. Three large zucchini is about four or five cups for me finished. It can be used to replace 1/3 of flour in most recipes without any change to the finished products, acts as a thickening agent for gravies, great for breading fish but we really tend use ours for tortillas and bannock since those are our quick go to breads. It also makes great dumplings and brownies. Store in air tight jars , or we often vac pac ours For us, we still purchase grains from a local family owned grist mill. So this is free, sustainable, easily produced on site and it has a mild taste. Most people wouldn’t pickup on it. It cuts our flour usage by a third . You can do the same with sweet and regular potato, other squash acorns, and pumpkin. I just find myself zucchini is the least flavoured. Plus we get overloaded by the darn things. Shared
I have been so excited to make this! LOVE you and your family inviting us in to share your corner of the world! I watch you quite often and love all the stuff you can! I am going to make that green tomatoe ketchup as well! ohhhh and the cowboy candy is also next!!! Thanks so much for fitting us in your very busy life!
I'm inundated with zucchini (or courgette as we call it in the UK ) and have never heard of the idea of 'sweet' storing it, looks like a great idea. Canning is pretty much unheard of over here. We make pickles (I've been doing gherkins today) jams, relish etc but I've searched all over and the only way to get a pressure canner is from the US (shipping and import charges would make it about $600) and even water bath canners are almost impossible to find. I have a big commercial cook pot I was hoping was tall enough for water bathing pint jars but it's just a tiny bit too short. Jars are also really expensive here, about $4 per jar plus lids and tops you're looking at $5 ish per can. I'll have to stick to freezing for the time being. My family are farmers for generations back and it's always been freezing or 'root cellar' (generally just stone built outhouses, we don't have basements) storage as far back as my 81 year old gran remembers other than pickles and ferments. We don't get the weather for many summer crops so mostly roots and brassicas as tradition but I've got a greenhouse full of tomatoes and peppers to preserve! I hope canning takes off over here a bit more and a company starts importing canners. I'd love to not have to buy yet another freezer to store things 🤣
Try dehydrating if you can. Zucchini and yellow squash are in my top three favorite things to dehydrate. If you cut them in discs you can even use them like chips fo salsa. I don't know if you can get a dehydrator over there, but it is one of my favorite ways to preserve food. Good luck.
Hi Nenemaria, I am in Scotland and I bought via amazon.com a Mirro pressure canner for a total of £114. I bought also in the states boxes with 12 jars that are nearly half what you pay at Lakeland. At luckyvitamin.com you get postage’s free if you order for abt $65. I also invested in plastic Tattler lids that you can reuse. Eveline
Nenemaria Hi, I’m granny (81) in the uk. We call canning bottling. My mother bottled tomatoes and peaches when I was a child. This year I’ve bottled (water bathed) figs (jars Lakeland). Previous years I’ve done dried toms in any jars with ‘popple’ lids . I’ve used my pressure cooker on lowest setting if I don’t think water bathing is adequate. They’ve been successful. I’d use marrows to make marrow and ginger jam when they’ve got a bit firmer. Sugar, marrow ginger only ingredients. Nice...
I can zucchini and tomatoes together and we love it ! Great for vegetable soup, but you could use it for chili or spaghetti sauce, especially if I used the immersion blender, for those people I need to sneak a bit of zucchini into! I do increase the hot water bath time, and add a bit of lemon juice if they are low acid tomatoes. ( yellow or white )
That's what I want to do. I love zucchini, cut up with tomatoes and onions cooked so I was thinking about canning them together like that. I was trying to decide between that or just dry canning zucchini like my friend did or another recipe I saw online just by pouring hot vinegar salted water over the zucchini and then wb canning
Hi Rachel, I've made your tomato and courgette salsa a week ago. Amazing! I have to make more as the jars have been flying out of my house. Family love it so so much ❤️ thanks for your recipes 😍💞
Just made a batch using some yellow patty pan squash, peeled with seeds removed. Chopped it in the food processor. It really is EXACTLY like crushed pineapple. Taste and texture! Truly amazing, thank you!
Our Cherry, Zucchini season are at the same time, we make cherry juice in a Mehu-Maya steam juicer. After the Cherries are juiced we put the Cherry jam into a old cone style tomato juicer, and then the seedless jam gets mixed with grated Zucchini in a Crock Pot,simmer it with lid off, when its the thickness we want it gets canned, we use it for many things, comes out sweet, kids used it as a sweet relish on hamburgers, hotdogs. Even made jelly rolls with it.
I shred and keep it in the freezer to make my zucchini jello jam, zucchini sweet hot relish, bread. I have also canned zucchini chunks in pineapple juice for mock pineapple upside-down cake. Cathy
Thank you for sharing these recipes with us. Your knowledge is so very much appreciated. I didn't even know you could can shredded zucchini. It's definitely going on my shelf. ⚘
This video was right on time for me!! Thank You! My fam loves some pineapple and we have so many zucchini piling up! You are a genuine Gem! You have a new sub!
I'm canning up some of this right now. I only had a little over 2 quarts so I just adjusted the other ingredients. Looking forward to getting more zucchini so I can do some more.
Thanks Rachael I love how easy this recipe is and that it fills in for pineapples in recipes and in eating ! This will be on my list to make for sure!! I think I’ll take your que and make dome chunks and mostly shredded ! I’m learning so much from. You I cant wait until canning season this year ti learn more from you! God bless ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻
I've been canning green beans, and moving on to the next thing, have lots of zucchini and will definitely try this recipe, thanks. I have lots of Elderberries that I have frozen and will make lots of things with those over the winter, but they are taking a lot of room in my freezer! Such a problem to have.
Me too! I have done green beans, marinated mushrooms, kosher dills , and now Im pressure canning yellow squash and zucchini. Not crazy about the idea! Nothing ventured , nothing gained. This recipe however.. I must try!
Made this today. So easy. Rachel thank you for sharing your ideas and skills. I ended up with six pints and three of syrup. Canned all. Can’t wait to try. Feeling very good with my results. I was very meticulous and followed all instructions.
How nice that Dan and Abigail connected with you I know that was awesome. I bet the zucchini in pineapple tastes amazing, it looks really good. I can't wait to see how it works out.

Oops.. put the sugar in twice.. 1/2 c brown sugar and 1/2 c white sugar is the correct amount
Can you freeze this?
So I'm late to the game. But yes I did try this recipe last year. However what did you do with the juice you drained?
Girl you are a genius!!! So instead of pineapple juice I used fresh pressed applesauce because we have an abundance of apples! So now I have a butter substitute and the bread filling all in one jar!!! Thank you
Thank you so much for this! It's perfect! And I'd like to thank your daughter for her service to this country!
Here I am now, boat loads of zucchini, and coming back to this video to can it all up. I've been waiting to try this since last year!
I add it to my salsa and spaghetti sauce to to extend my pantry
@@1870s great idea! And I did find the salsa one as well, yay!
I made this today! Oh. My. GOSH!!! It is so good, and if I didn't know it was zucchini I would never know that it's NOT pineapple. I will do this with my zucchini from now on! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I shred and keep it in the freezer to make my zucchini jello jam, zucchini sweet hot relish, bread. I have also canned zucchini chunks in pineapple juice for mock pineapple upside-down cake. Cathy
I'm making this today! Thank you for sharing your recipe! :)
I did this years ago with zucchini cubes and it worked out great!
Yes so good
Just did this one today and am waiting on them to finish processing. Looking forward to having this on my shelves
So glad I found your show. You are an inspiration
I’m so happy you did a how to on this recipe.
Woo-hoo, awesome way to use the zucchini, clever i my say . I usually hide mime shredded on ground turkey to make burgers and it's delicious. .
So glad to see this. Have always done squares and think the shredded sounds great.
Did cubes hold their texture well enough?
Like could I put it on a hawaiian pizza?
Thank you for sharing these recipes with us. Your knowledge is so very much appreciated. I didn't even know you could can shredded zucchini. It's definitely going on my shelf. ⚘
Love zucchini pineapple! If you have a salad shooter, it does a great job of shredding.
I know this video is 2 years old, but I’m just now seeing it. My husband was in the Navy and stationed at The Great Lakes and Norfolk as well!
Thanks Racheal. I use my food processor, it is so fast!! I love zucchini. Love, ♥️ Susan Hatch

I'm canning up some of this right now. I only had a little over 2 quarts so I just adjusted the other ingredients. Looking forward to getting more zucchini so I can do some more.

What can it be used for,
I've been canning green beans, and moving on to the next thing, have lots of zucchini and will definitely try this recipe, thanks. I have lots of Elderberries that I have frozen and will make lots of things with those over the winter, but they are taking a lot of room in my freezer! Such a problem to have.
Me too! I have done green beans, marinated mushrooms, kosher dills , and now Im pressure canning yellow squash and zucchini. Not crazy about the idea! Nothing ventured , nothing gained. This recipe however.. I must try!
This looks delicious and can't wait to see what's next.
I never thought to can my zukes in pineapple juice. I'll have to try this.
The juice that was leftover that you canned, will you just put that with more zucchini when you can make more?
What great way to put away that zucchini! It's the best idea!
I just finished my first batch! Such a great way to deal with lots of zucchini. Thank you!
Enjoy!
I put 1 cup of orange zest to your recipe so good.
Made this today. So easy. Rachel thank you for sharing your ideas and skills. I ended up with six pints and three of syrup. Canned all. Can’t wait to try. Feeling very good with my results. I was very meticulous and followed all instructions.
Looking forward to canning zucchini- thanks for the video
How nice that Dan and Abigail connected with you I know that was awesome. I bet the zucchini in pineapple tastes amazing, it looks really good. I can't wait to see how it works out.
