Zucchini Jelly

Fruit juice and gelatin form the basis for simple, flavorful candies.

Recipe Summary Zucchini Jelly

This easy and great way to use zucchini was given to me by my Grandmother many years ago and is still requested by friends and family today. Any flavor gelatin will work, but I have found apricot and strawberry to work best.
