MOCK CANNED PINEAPPLE CHUNK OR CRUSHED (WATER BATH)
This is great for preserving your overabundance of summer zucchini. Nice over ice cream, in a trifle over pancakes...... Use in any way you would canned pineapple. I found no need for the extract unless you want additional flavor like coconut to make pine colada flavor.

MOCK PINEAPPLE
I haven't grown any zucchini since I got this recipe, but have been dying to find out how well this works...I would think this would best done with those huge, monster zucchinis that seem to sprout up when your back is turned...Zucchinizilla, if you will. If anyone is game to try this, please let me know how it turned out. Cooking time is process time for canner after it has attained 10 pounds pressure. Yield is an estimate.

A good friend of mine made this and gave to me...at first, I didn't realize what it really was...but it's good! And it's quite versatile! If you like to do canning, this is a real easy recipe! You gotta try this one! With zucchini being so available in summer, this is a good way to use it up!

Steps:
- 1. In large stainless kettle, combine sugar, pineapple juice, oil and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Add zucchini chunks and bring back to boil; let it boil for 3 minutes. Pack into hot, sterile pint jars and seal.
- 2. The zucchini turns yellow and really tastes like pineapple! To use as a pie filling, thicken a pint with a little cornstarch. Or use for upside down cake! It's good mixed with cool whip and served in a graham cracker pie crust...You are limited only by your imagination!
