Courgette Jam Recipe

No! Really! There is such a thing. It is made with citrus fruit and courgette and usually ginger.
It is a lovely tangy jam, the courgette is adding texture rather than flavour. Thanks to Aidan for pointing it out!

Lemon and Courgette jam
1kg courgettes
1kg sugar
2cm cube of ginger (optional)
4 lemons

Grapefruit and Courgette jam
1kg courgettes
1kg sugar
2cm cube of ginger (optional)
1 grapefruit
2 lemons

Method (same for both)
Coarsely grate the courgette
Zest the lemons, you can use a zester or for chunkier bits use a grater. Then juice.
Finely chop or grate the ginger
Put everything in a pan and mix
Leave for a few minutes for the liquid to start coming out the courgettes
Put on the stove and heat slowly until sugar is dissolved, then increase the heat until a boil is reached.
Boil until setting point is reached - may take some time as there is a lot of water in courgettes. The mixture will look quite lumpy.
Jar in to sterilised jam jars and cover with a wax disk.
