So last year I watched this video. I canned 3 dozen jars of zucchini and pineapple juice following your recipe for canning. Fast-forward to today. I made zucchini bread with the zucchini/ pineapple juice. It turned out so good. First I too 2 pints and drained the zucchini. While it was draining, I started the oven 350 degrees than oiled the bread pan. Then I mixed together 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Mix well. Then back to zucchini I really drained it well so it was dryer. Mixed that in. It was a heaping cup. Another bowl for the dry goods. Whisk together 1 3/4 c flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Mix sifted dry ingredients with mixed wet ingredients. I used a spatula and just folded it together. Do not over stir. Poured it in the greased pan. Baked for 60 minutes. It turned out so good...thank you so much for the canning idea of zucchini with the pineapple juice. I will definitely be doing it again this year. I have plans to make bread for Christmas and send 2 pints with a recipe card. Thanks for inspiring me so much!

Thank you so much for this! It's perfect! And I'd like to thank your daughter for her service to this country!

Girl you are a genius!!! So instead of pineapple juice I used fresh pressed applesauce because we have an abundance of apples! So now I have a butter substitute and the bread filling all in one jar!!! Thank you

So nice to be treatead as family when you are far a way from home! To be kind is the best quality in humans!

I made this today! Oh. My. GOSH!!! It is so good, and if I didn't know it was zucchini I would never know that it's NOT pineapple. I will do this with my zucchini from now on! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Here I am now, boat loads of zucchini, and coming back to this video to can it all up. I've been waiting to try this since last year!

Yes, you truly do inspire us Rachel!!

I love y’all’s channel so much. I like how you are so laid back and show common sense about canning. This looks lovely. 🍍💚

I have been so excited to make this! LOVE you and your family inviting us in to share your corner of the world! I watch you quite often and love all the stuff you can! I am going to make that green tomatoe ketchup as well! ohhhh and the cowboy candy is also next!!! Thanks so much for fitting us in your very busy life!

Wanted to share this with you. I posting the post here in case there is no videos . But enjoy :) Zucchini flour. Might be old news to some, but you never know right. With rising concerns on wheat costs just thought I’d share it. There’s probably fancier ways of doing this out there, but here’s how I learned. Easy peasy. Nothing to it. We love and make tons of zucchini flour every year. You may have heard it called Amish flour or troops flour before. It’s a Staple in Amish and Mennonite household for generations here. It was also embraced in the 1940’s during rationing. You let your zucchini grow, oversized is actually better. Large to extra large. Marrow sized. I peel mine with a carrot peeler, into thin even strips for less drying time. Or slide it through a mandolin for speed of prep. Run it through the electronic dehydrator or just thread it. . No large seeds if possible for finer texture. Everything else is fine. It must be absolutely dry. It’s essential. If in doubt always dry it more, any moisture will ruin it during storage Then run it through a food processor or hand grinder until you have a powdered consistency. It will be a marbled green looking power. Texture is similar to a good quality whole wheat flour. That is zucchini flour. Three large zucchini is about four or five cups for me finished. It can be used to replace 1/3 of flour in most recipes without any change to the finished products, acts as a thickening agent for gravies, great for breading fish but we really tend use ours for tortillas and bannock since those are our quick go to breads. It also makes great dumplings and brownies. Store in air tight jars , or we often vac pac ours For us, we still purchase grains from a local family owned grist mill. So this is free, sustainable, easily produced on site and it has a mild taste. Most people wouldn’t pickup on it. It cuts our flour usage by a third . You can do the same with sweet and regular potato, other squash acorns, and pumpkin. I just find myself zucchini is the least flavoured. Plus we get overloaded by the darn things. Shared

I cubed some yellow summer squash and used the same recipe. My husband KNEW I was canning it to be a pineapple substitute. I gave him 1 chunk after the 20 minute simmer and he said , Yeah. That's pineapple." I told him it was the squash and he said it is magic. At that point even the texture was firm like pineapple...haven't used it canned yet. Thinking the chunks I will use in Asian stir-fries. Will do some shredded too for bread, etc..

WHAT. This is amazing! Such a great way to deal with excess zucchini. Thank you for sharing!

Your organization is very inspiring! I love watching your canning videos

So glad both Dan and Abigail are doing well! That zucchini looks great - definitely doing that!

Absolutely doing this with the pile of large zucchini on my counter. Thank you for the tutorial/recipe!

Thanks Rachael I love how easy this recipe is and that it fills in for pineapples in recipes and in eating ! This will be on my list to make for sure!! I think I’ll take your que and make dome chunks and mostly shredded ! I’m learning so much from. You I cant wait until canning season this year ti learn more from you! God bless ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻

Thank you for sharing these recipes with us. Your knowledge is so very much appreciated. I didn't even know you could can shredded zucchini. It's definitely going on my shelf. ⚘

Made this today. So easy. Rachel thank you for sharing your ideas and skills. I ended up with six pints and three of syrup. Canned all. Can’t wait to try. Feeling very good with my results. I was very meticulous and followed all instructions.

I have so much squash and zucchini. I'm grateful for all your zucchini videos! I did chunks for a recipe I make and then I did the shreds.

New to canning and just did this. So easy and sooo good. Used a $30 hand crank grater that made easy work of the zucc's. Love y'all's channel.

I absolutely love your canning videos! They aren't just your average canning recipes. You are giving me so many other options for all of my garden produce! This Missouri Momma is very thankful for that! Keep up the great inspiration!

What a fantastic idea, thank you so much, I will try this! Great garden year for you, congratulations!

This video was right on time for me!! Thank You! My fam loves some pineapple and we have so many zucchini piling up! You are a genuine Gem! You have a new sub!

I just made this. Looks beautiful and tastes great. Want to try some in tidbits. Thanks for sharing!

You are terrific! I just started watching and you showed me that we all make mistakes! I really enjoy your demos.

Unbelievable. I love this more than actual crushed pineapple. I love the texture. Thank you.

Awe!!! I miss Dan!!!! I'm so glad she's doing well ❤️

One of my favorite recipes is adding crushed pineapple to cream cheese to make a spread/dip for crackers bagels etc. I am so going to try this! This spring I put in 20 hills of zucchini as I had a ton of aging seed and expected on raising a hog thinking this would be free food. Well we didn’t get the hog and I currently have 75 pounds out of 2 pickings 😱😱😱😱😵‍💫 (Neighbors expect to find squash in your mailbox’s!!!!!)

Bless you for this recipe! I ate so much zucchini because I did know what else to especially since I don’t have freezer space❤️

Thanks so very much for this video. I have a monster harvest of zucchini and I love being able to use it this way throughout the winter.

So glad I found your show. You are an inspiration

Just made a batch using some yellow patty pan squash, peeled with seeds removed. Chopped it in the food processor. It really is EXACTLY like crushed pineapple. Taste and texture! Truly amazing, thank you!

Hello Rachel- New to your channel and starting to view your videos by subject. This is a this terrific recipe! We have two freezers and a huge back wall in the basement for canned goods. LIke you, I have to decide what to put into the freezers. We built our farm cottage at the base of our family farm in 2016. It was designed for both on or off grid. My Grandmother Hazel taught me the New Hampshire OLD WAYS, which has proved invaluable! However besides using our 1930 kitchen wood stove during the colder months, I need to take advantage of the modern conveniences, such Instant Pot, All-American pressure canner and Kitchen Aid appliances. I am now officially retired this spring, from working outside the farm and ready to hit the ground running 🏃 And I am so going to enjoy perusing through your videos, while sitting down with my morning coffee. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos! ~ Diane

I’m so happy I found this recipe, I made it today and it’s delicious 😋

I just made this today!! It is really good!! Tastes just like pineapple!!!! Yum 🤤. I used my shredded zucchini that I froze last summer!!

I made this and your zucchini relish tonight!! I’m exhausted lol. Thanks Rachel it’s so so good!!

I’m so happy you did a how to on this recipe.

I have some zucchini I harvested this morning that needs something done with it, this sounds delicious. I already canned pickles and potatoes today but I will definitely try it tomorrow. Maybe this winter you can work on the cookbook, everything I’ve tried of yours so far has been delicious!

This sounds amazing. I haven't planted zucchini in several years. I will next year for sure.

I saw this today in your video where you made cherry pie filling, then a dessert using this zucchini. Mine is just starting to come in, but I'm ABSOLUTELY going to be making this in the next week or so! Thank you so much!!!

How nice that Dan and Abigail connected with you I know that was awesome. I bet the zucchini in pineapple tastes amazing, it looks really good. I can't wait to see how it works out.

Fabulous

What an awesome video!

Great idea. Please do a video using this canning zucchini in a recipe.

I did this years ago with zucchini cubes and it worked out great!

A new subscriber here. Can't wait to try the canned zucchini!

Oh my goodness!!!! I just did this with my cuccuzzas and it turned out amazing!!!!! It tastes just like crushed pineapples!!!!! Thank u thank you thank you!!!!! I'm learning sooooo much from you... First time gardener and canner here.. learning at 63❣️. You are such a sweetie... You could call it MOCK PINEAPPLE for sure!!!

It’s never occurred to me to use a slotted spoon and top up with the liquid! Thanks for the tip!

this year was the first I ever heard of this mock pineapple business... so just got me some pineapple juice and real lemon and am going for it... will try both chunks and shredded! this is absolutely brilliant! YAY

I can zucchini and tomatoes together and we love it ! Great for vegetable soup, but you could use it for chili or spaghetti sauce, especially if I used the immersion blender, for those people I need to sneak a bit of zucchini into! I do increase the hot water bath time, and add a bit of lemon juice if they are low acid tomatoes. ( yellow or white )

Cool idea!

I fermented some some yellow squash the other day. It was amazing!

Thank-you so very much for this recipe, I have an abundance of Zucchini this year and Pineapple is always expensive here! 🍁

So excited to do this! Have a Non stress test & ob appt tomorrow so definitely going to pop into meijer to check for more 8oz jars and pineapple juice 😍 trying to cram in as much canning as i can, we are 2 weeks out from our scheduled C 😁 just picked several zucchini this morning for this specifically!

Thanks Racheal. I use my food processor, it is so fast!! I love zucchini. Love, ♥️ Susan Hatch

Ohh I hope I get more zucchini growing so can try this I just canned it up in chunks and froze some . I put zucchini in some of my stewed tomatoes to so good yum . Thank you I’m gonna try this

Gonna definitely use this for my zucchini harvest ♥️♥️♥️

I have a break fast smoothie every day of the week but with pineapple and will definitely try a jar for that but look forward to a bread made with .

Wonderful Thanks for sharing 💕

I had never heard of zucchini in pineapple juice! I'm intrigued! will probably give it a try as I have so much zucchini right now! thanks for this video!

I know this video is 2 years old, but I’m just now seeing it. My husband was in the Navy and stationed at The Great Lakes and Norfolk as well!

I try your recipe today it is really good and not hard ty

Loving it cheers 🍻

i love the pineapple zucchini. hope to get some made this year . reallt enjoy your videos

Our Cherry, Zucchini season are at the same time, we make cherry juice in a Mehu-Maya steam juicer. After the Cherries are juiced we put the Cherry jam into a old cone style tomato juicer, and then the seedless jam gets mixed with grated Zucchini in a Crock Pot,simmer it with lid off, when its the thickness we want it gets canned, we use it for many things, comes out sweet, kids used it as a sweet relish on hamburgers, hotdogs. Even made jelly rolls with it.

I have never heard of canning squash with pineapple juice. Interesting. Sounds good.
