How to make compote from zucchini
At this stage, we have to take zucchini and fresh lemon, which must be thoroughly washed under running water. Next, cut the outer part of the zucchini, leaving only a dense pulp, indistinguishable in appearance from the pineapple.
We also process zucchini in the middle, removing soft flesh and seeds so as not to spoil the appearance of compote. We cut the squash into cubes, approximately 1 by 1 cm in size, approximately like pineapple from a can.
Pour 1 liter of running water into the stewpan (pan), add our zucchini there and bring to a boil.
After boiling, add sugar 2 tbsp. l and continue to cook for up to 10 minutes, mixing thoroughly until sugar is completely dissolved. Cook another 10 minutes.
We take fresh lemon, squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice out of it and add it to the container with compote. Remove the container from the fire, the compote is ready.
It's time to do packaging for our spin, which must first be sterilized in any way convenient for you. Add 3-4 pieces of fresh lemon to prepared jars. We also add cloves strictly according to the recipe, so as not to spoil the taste with excessive spices, and cook for another 10 minutes.
Fill the jars to the edge with the previously prepared compote and roll them up or tightly twist them.
At the last stage, turn over our cans and cover with a warm cloth for a day, after which we remove the ready-made preservation in a cool place.
Our compote is ready.
