Recipe Introduction
Confettura di Mele, Zucchine ed Albicocche
This is a little unusual by Italian standards -- Artusi doesn't mention it, nor does Ada Boni -- but it is tasty, and a nice accompaniment to boiled meats.
List of Ingredients
1 1/8 pounds (500 g) fairly sweet apples
9 ounces (250 g) zucchini
9 ounces (250 g) apricots
A packet of pectin sufficient for this weight of fruit
About 2 1/4 pounds (1 k) sugar
Recipe
Wash, peel, and grate the apples and the zucchini. Pit and dice the apricots, and combine the fruit and pectin in a high-sided pot. Cook, stirring lest the mixture scorch, until it comes to a boil; boil it for one minute, slowly add the sugar and continue cooking, stirring; when the jam returns to a boil cook it for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the pot from the fire and stir for a minute, or until the foam is reabsorbed. Check the consistency of the jam (a drop on an inclined plate should run slowly) and transfer it into sterile jars.
Yield: Several jars apple, apricot and zucchini relish.
