Do you like canned pineapples or do you like really tasty compote? It can be prepared very simply, without even using this exotic fruit. It can easily be replaced with something that probably few people expect – zucchini. However, there is nothing surprising about the result, because it is a very tasty and juicy vegetable, the flesh of which resembles a pineapple. However, there will be no problems with the taste either, and in the end you won’t even understand whether you have zucchini compote or real pineapple compote.

I share the cooking recipe:

First, wash and peel the zucchini. Then cut them into circles 1.5-2 cm thick. Then cut out the middle of each circle and remove all the seeds from the zucchini.

Now prepare the syrup. Pour the pineapple juice into a medium saucepan and add the sugar and citric acid. However, if you think it is too weak, you can also use pineapple extract.

Let the whole mixture boil a little, and then put the chopped zucchini in it. Cook them over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 15-20 minutes, until they soften a little. Finally, place them evenly on clean, sterilized jars and pour pineapple syrup to the edges. Roll up the jars tightly, turn them upside down and let them cool to room temperature. Then store them in a cool place.

Ingredients:

• Zucchini – 2 kg
• Pineapple juice – 1 l
• Sugar – 200 g
• Citric acid – 2.5 tsp.
