Great ideas. I used pineapple zucchini last all my homemade pizzas last winter. 😊
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Crushed pineapple was literally non existent in my area during the lockdowns last winter, and still hard to find now. My crew LOVES carrot cake, so I am definitely going to try this as a substitute for real crushed pineapple. Thanks Heidi, for posting this.
I might use a melon baller for cherry, I would like apple cider flavor, and with lots of zucchini I would try making apple butter with the zucchini.
That's a smart idea!
I made cranberry zucchini I didn't have enough pure cranberry juice but had a jar of cranberry sauce opened in the fridge and used it for the rest of the juice. since I use brown sugar and cinammon in my cranberry sauce i used brown sugar and cinnamon in the zucchini.May try make cranberry zucchini bread. Thanks for the recipe!👍
I made a batch of cherry juice zucchini (with a little lemon juice and sugar) They turned out amazing. They have the taste and texture of canned peaches somehow. Thanks for sharing this
Nice!
Thanks for sharing. Ohhh, what about the cherry in a chocolate zucchini bread! Yummm
I just recently found and started watching your videos. If you haven't already done so, you ought to sell a cookbook!
Hello from London I am so happy to have found your videos. Thank you for the great content. Your a great teacher x
I make mock pineapple and apple. So good. Everyone loves my cobblers. I must try the cherry now.
I do this with Armenian Cucumber and dehydrate the pieces after cooking. The cranberry juice ones were so good. I added grated ginger in a batch with the pineapple juice. Tastes just like dried fruit.
I was thinking dehydrating after cooking in the juices would make a great snack
I made Pineapple Zucchini today with your recipe, so good. Thanks for sharing!
I just finished making this and it was so good. I shredded mine for bread making, I used orange/mango juice. It looks awesome too...first of many other flavours, thank you Heidi, many blessings to you and yours...
Yum pineapple zucchini bread, sounds so good, I love pineapple, maybe try this next year, I didn’t grow much zucchini this year and my plants are gone. Thanks for sharing, blessings
Hmmm...Cranberry juice would be interesting. "Cranberry" sauce, "Cranberries" for stuffing the turkey @ Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mandarin Oranges! Do you think you can use the juice left over from mandarin oranges? Great video Heidi!
I was thinking the same thing on the cranberry juice as well. I am sure you can try. Like I suggested in the video, maybe just try making a small amount, say a half cup total , to see how you like it before making up a large amount
@@RainCountryHomestead My SIL loves cranberry anything, so I'll make the two pints of cranberry zucchini and OH!! 2 pints of blueberry zucchini!
“
Heidi thank you again for another wonderful recipe, I think I'm gonna try the pineapple & may try peach🥰🥰
Good morning 🌞
So interesting! I wonder how t would work with rehydrating dehydrated zucchini in pineapple juice. Wouldn't have the watered down issue. I have dehydrated, so might try that. Thanks!
That would likely turn out even better as the dehydrated zucchini would soak up more of the flavor as I have done with dried apples and cooking them in cherry or apple juice and that gives them far more flavor and are wonderful in pies. Now I do think I will go ahead and dry up more zucchini, I was trying to decide if I wanted to do that.
I have done the pineapple zucchini and love it!
Hi Heidi, that looks good and tasty. The zucchini that I did with the sweet herbs and the orange juice, I used today in a fruitcake, tastes also great. Gods Bless.
Now I have to try this with tart cherry juice to make a sour cherry pie filling substitute. Cherry season is so short around me and I’ve missed it 2 years in a row and I’m really missing tart cherries.
Don't have excess zucchini this year not a good crop this year for us. Black cherry happens to be one of my favorite flavors so I was looking forward to this a lot. Thank you for figuring out the acid levels I was concerned about that. Those fried pies look luscious.
Wow Heidi, this sounds great! It is so cool that you make this so we can learn how to do this. You are so Awesome, and I think it would be good on pancakes, waffles, short bread, corn bread.
I made this exact recipe yesterday (full recipe, so double yours) and got 8 pints of pineapple zucchini. Not sure what I'm going to do with them: I did the cubed one. It does taste just like pineapple.
This is a "keeper" recipe, I am looking forward to trying! Many Blessings!
So AWESOME!! I can't wait for the zucchini to grow, thanks for sharing!
Hi Hide this is really unique trying the zucchini and pineapple 🍍 and the Black cherry🍒zucchini very different and sounds delicious.
I would make a pineapple upside down cake with the pineapple zucchini and use the cherry zucchini as like maraschino cherries on pineapple cake. Cobblers would be good too
These sound very delicious Heidi. I’m definitely going to try this when our summer zucchini harvests come in. xx Cathi xx
Flying pineapple, cherries and others I'm sure. Listening mostly.
I have pineapple juice on my grocery list right now. It sounds awesome! Need some uses for the extra zucchini from the garden. I may try it with apple juice also. Take care.
We did mango! Fantastic!
Excited about this , bump zucchini crop
Im currently freeze drying foods for extended vacations in the RV where weight and fridge space matter.
Thinking of soaking the zucchini in salt water so it will lose moisture, then stir frying. Then freeze dry, and use pineapple juice/sugar to rehydrate.
Just thinking of ways to avoid the freeze dryer taking so long.
But , you've given me so many ideas for all the zucchini my neighbor keeps secretly leaving on my porch in the middle of the night. Lol
That's ok, melon season is coming and I know who's gonna be sick of finding melons on his doorstep every morning. Lol
I guess there are worse problems to have than nice neighbors.
Sounds like this would make good ice cream topping. I wonder if it would be good to mix pineapple and orange juice . I like drinking pineapple/orange juice. Will have to give it a try.I also like eating pineapples in cottage cheese. This sounds like it would be more nutritional . Thanks for sharing. Watch all your videos and love them all. I have made the creamsicles and love them and am working on getting the fabric together to make me a couple of skirts.
I'm wondering if you can even make mock applesauce using this method?
Oooh...good question! I can see cooking the peels zucchinin apple juice (additions for flavor will vary by taste) and then blending once fully cooked.
I would love trying kiwi, elderberry and rhubarb
I used yellow squash, shredded, with pineapple juice recipe and made bread, tasted like pineapple and in jars looked like pineapple.
Yum! 😋 Thank You 🙏
Have you ever thought of, after being weighed, bag and freeze it. This way you can expel some of the juice that the zucchini gives off....or does it matter? I'm going to try it both ways!
I love how detailed this video is! One question is, do you thicken it if you are using it as a pie filling? Thanks
I have never used it as such but yes, you would need to add flour or some other thickener as you would any pie filling you would make
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you
Now I need more zucchini
I wonder if this would work with adding peaches along with the zucchini so I have enough to my some jam.
I see in another youtube video where someone used zucchini in blueberry jam.
This looks fabulous!! Two questions: 1) Can I also substitute yellow summer squash for the zucchini? 2) How much headspace should we give in the jars?
Thank you!!💛
I just say the standard of one inch
So your zukes like tofu pick up other tastes or flavors!clever idea!!!
As I think about this I'm wondering if the juice from the store-bought canned fruit I have to use for daycare would work. It's all 100% juice that I strain off every can I open. I struggle to find uses for it because there is so much. Do you think that this would work for the zucchini? It's peach, pear & pineapple.
I am sure it would. If there is added sugar, you may not need to add any or at least cut back. You should be able to tell by the flavor as you are working with it
@@RainCountryHomestead Yes! Experiment time! This may be a way to get the granddaughter to eat a veggie other than corn!!
You can recycle cans. One person I know made drainage from downsprout to pull water away from house. He dod use #10cans. God bless.
I've got so many fox grapes, I wonder if they have an intense enough flavor? Make a mock grape pie, perhaps...
Question? What about using organic fruit powders? Would it be the same method?
I can only assume as I have never tried it
Love this idea ! I'm curious as to what recipes you would use the black cherry one in . 😊
I did mention one of them here: th-cam.com/video/sHe4Pv1t33o/w-d-xo.html
I wonder how it would work on pizza with the pineapple zucchini, would in stay firm when baking .
Is it 100 % juices and where did you find black cherry juice
Thank you Heidi! 🙂
Do you think the pineapple zucchini would work in a Mandarin sweet & sour sauce? I can't quite imagine what the texture of the zucchini is.🤔
Love and blessings! 💜
The texture, though not exactly like pineapple, is quite similar as long as you peel it first.
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks. 👍
I only got one zucchini this year, but I will try this when I have more. Would you share the variety of zucchini the striped ones on your counter are? 💚🌞
Italian striped zucchini. I ended up with that one by accident but have grown it before years ago. Somehow the last pack of black beauty seeds I ordered ended up with at least one striped zucchini seed, Which I am totally fine with! I will be saving seeds from at least one of those and see how it does next year.
Thank you!! Did you use a thickener, or do you just thicken depending on what you are using it for? This sounds fabulous.
Nothing else was added other than what I have shown. I do not recommend using a thickener when canning it. That is something that should be added when going to use it for making pies and such
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you
My grandmother made a mock apple pie using zucchini. You couldn't tell the difference.
I wanna do the pineapple squash but I would prefer doing it in quarts since so many in my family love pineapple what would be waterbath times for quarts?
Generally speaking, quart jars are typically 15 minutes longer than pints
Hand pies can be baked, just like a regular pie. Fried pies are tasty but too many calories and fat. Can't wait to make zucchini pineapple bread with tour recipe. Thank you.
Yes, I know that and have baked them before too but either way it is a rare treat so if one wants to fry in a healthy fat like oil, there is nothing wrong with that and some people are actually wanting or needing to add more healthy fats as well
Is the consistency like pineapple?
It is similar though not exact
I was thinking it might be good to dehydrate the zucchini a bit first. Not all the way but enough to reduce the water a bit.
It is really not necessary, especially since you are cooking it for a bit before canning, some of the water will cook out but it is an idea to consider.
QUESTION What if you are allergic to coconut?
I can only assume you are referring to the part where I mention the piña colada creamsicles and that is easy, simply leave it out.
I really like this idea. I love pineapple, but it makes my tongue sore and swell up. I'm thinking maybe that effect may be a bit less this way. I'm gonna try this today. Thanks Sis 😊😁
I get that reaction too, Scott or I get like abrasions in my mouth. Stinks because I love pineapple.
Non processed pineapple is very high in Bromelaine, a powerful enzyme. It's basically trying to digest you while you digest it. I get horrible chemical burns on my hands whenever I cut up fresh pineapple. I think heating breaks down the enzyme, so canned pineapple is less harsh.
@@itatane excellent info, thank you!!
Is this a jelly/jam?
No, did you take time to watch the whole video?
@@RainCountryHomestead Yes. My question was answered soon after I texted. 😊 Thanks. Please keep making you're videos. Very informative. 🙂
I am wondering about lime juice??? Anybody tried that?
I am sure it would be quite good, I may try that next time
Do you have an apple pie recipe for zucchini
I personally do not but have heard of it. Easy enough to look up online though. I am sure it is pretty similar to regular apple but would assume one may need more thickener added to make up for the excess moisture from the zucchini...not unless they cook the zucchini a bit first and then drain off the excess
@@RainCountryHomestead my mom tried one off internet and it was bad! I thought maybe you had one that was proven good, your other recipes are always good. Thank you for answering me
I use apple juice and add some cinnamon to taste. Make apple cobblers. Of course when canning don’t forget to add the lemon juice. It’s delicious. Strain off the juice before putting in cobbler. The left over juice is good to drink too. I don’t see why you couldn’t add some cornstarch to the mixture to thicken up and make an apple pie right before baking.
Bye pineapple in the summer freeze it or dying pineapple is great .there is always canned , this just doesn’t cut it .
The point in this recipe is to help people find ways to use up what they already have in abundance. Some poeple really like the pineapple zucchini and if it is a way they can save money and also use up their abundance, it is an excellent idea. Me, Yes, I would prefer real pineapple to this but still, to each their own. And yes, I have found pineapple for a great deal and frozen it for future use.
I am totally confused by your verbal quantity instructions and I replayed it 3x. Maybe you should offer a printout of your recipe, it sounds interesting.
Interesting since I did just that as I had promised i would in the video.
