Ingredients | Strawberry Jam Cake Filling Recipe

5 cups peeled and shredded zucchini

5 cups white sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O®

Directions

Stir the zucchini and sugar together in a large pot over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and gelatin, and continue simmering 5 minutes more, stirring constantly.

Ladle the hot jam into 6 hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rim and jar threads with a clean, damp cloth. Center lid on jar and screw the ring down firmly. Place into a boiling water canner covered by 2 inches of boiling water. Process for 10 minutes. Remove from the canner, and allow to cool to room temperature, and refrigerate any jars that do not seal.

You can make any flavor of jam by changing the flavor of Jello(R) - try peach, blueberry, blackberry, etc.
