ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F and set rack in middle position. Generously grease two 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to mix well.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar. Add the grated zucchini, melted butter, and vanilla extract; using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine.
• Add the dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the nuts and currants, then divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, then turn the loaves out onto rack to cool completely.
• Note: You can also add chocolate chips to this bread. I typically use between ¾ to 1 cup chocolate chips instead of nuts and currants. Whatever combination you use, just be sure total add-ins (nuts, currants, chips) do not exceed 1½ cups.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

ZUCCHINI BREAD JAM

Steps:

• To begin, combine the shredded zucchini, apple juice, pectin, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large pot. (I always use an 8 quart, stainless-steel stock pot. Enameled cast iron is also fine. You never want to use aluminum or other reactive metal. That includes the utensils as well.)
• Stir the ingredients together and bring it to a rolling boil over medium high heat. A rolling boil is a boil that can not be stopped by vigorous stirring.
• Add the sugar and again bring it to a rolling boil. Stir continually. Boil for 1 minute and remove it from the heat.
• Ladle the jam into prepared half pint jars. Leave 1/4 inch of head space.
• Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims, and add the lids and rings.
• Place the jars in your hot water bath or steam canner, and process for 15 minutes. (Adjust for elevation.)
• When they are done processing, turn off the heat, and remove the lid to the canner and allow the jars to sit for 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the jars to a surface that is lined with towels, or a cooling rack - in a place that is draft-free. Leave the jars, undisturbed for 12-24 hours.
• Remove the rings and test the seals.
• Label and store in your pantry.
