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.
