One of the strangest things I've canned yet - has to be zucchini.
Strange because usually you can something to maintain freshness and zucchini? Well, it comes out a sloppy mess - but honestly, all I use canned zucchini for is in baking, so the sloppy mess works out.
I will have to figure out a new process next year since I melted my food processor on a potato… Yes, you can do that. Ugh.
The "fun" part of canning zucchini is using the $300 pressure canner that Andy got at Goodwill for $10. There's nothing like watching that pressure gauge go up and pray to God above that the lid of that pressure cooker doesn't land in the bathtub in the bathroom a floor above you. Pressure canning is a bit scary, but so far so good. No giant holes in the ceiling and no lost limbs. I feel like both of those are in the win column. AND I can make fresh zucchini bread all winter. Hrm… makes me think I should make a few loaves….
This is the recipe we use to can our zucchini:
