Preserves

<p>OK, I admit, I love the threads about food here…</p>

<p>Lately I have been making plum preserves and they turned out to be great.
I am new to the whole preserving /canning thing, but I guess I am hooked.
So here is my question - I am looking for some recipes for preserving zuccini and pepper. I have one for zuccini, but it calls for cinnamon, which sounds strange to me :slight_smile:
I would like to preserve zuccini to use it as a condinment and peppers to use them in salads. I am able to buy locally grown produce now at pennies a piece and I believe local is good for us.
Any suggestions?</p>

<p>trouble with zuccs is that they mushup when cooked. Drying zuccs is OK, and you can dry them with sweet, sour, spice, salt seasoning. </p>

<p>Peppers can be mixed in a vegetable/fruit jutney relish, or jam preserve, or pickled. Dried peppers OK also. </p>

<p>Use a vacuum packager and not jars for dried foods.</p>
