Pineapple syrup, the taste and aroma of which is absorbed by the zucchini, makes them sweet, juicy and transparent. Below is a guide to action for the determined chef.
Ingredients for squash in pineapple juice
Cooking requires a very modest budget, a little patience and hard work. First of all, prepare the necessary components:
- the main component is, of course, zucchini. Very young in this situation are not the best choice, since they are small in size and will be inconvenient to handle. Old ones have rough skin and loose flesh, which can spoil the quality of the dish at the exit. Our choice is the “golden mean”, it is they who turn out to be elastic and slightly crispy, soaked in pineapple syrup;
- half a liter of pineapple juice (use a commercial quality one);
- a quarter of a teaspoon of citric acid, instead of it you can easily take half a large lemon with a thin crust;
- 6-7 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Save a ten-gram bag of vanilla sugar with the above.
Guide to action
Wash the vegetables carefully and peel them, cut into slices about two centimeters thick.
Turn circles into rings
The next steps will require some ingenuity and resourcefulness. The circles you have prepared must be turned into rings. To do this, select the appropriate tool such as a plastic bottle cork for small zucchini or a glass, a glass for larger blanks.
Make sweet syrup
It is he who will give the zucchini the taste of canned pineapple. To prepare the syrup, take a heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in the pineapple juice, then add the sugar and vanilla.
Throw citric acid there. If you have prepared a lemon, then squeeze the juice out of it and carefully filter it from the pulp and seeds. Lemon in this situation acts as a preservative, but at the same time it gives the dish a pleasant sourness.
Bring the syrup to a boil.
Boil zucchini in syrup
Place the zucchini in the boiling syrup. After the syrup with the rings boils again, boil it for another 15 minutes over low heat, while it should barely gurgle.
Put the brew in jars and roll up
Take liter jars for seaming. Wash and sterilize them thoroughly. Arrange hot zucchini in a prepared container and roll up. Turn the finished sealed product over, wrap it in a warm cloth and leave in this position for a day.
For long-term storage, place the workpieces in a cool place.
Zucchini in pineapple juice has a presentable appearance and a spicy taste. This is a wonderful dessert and a great ingredient for making casseroles, muffins, cakes. Experiment and surprise your loved ones.
