Best Zucchini Butter Or Marmalade You Choose Recipes
ZUCCHINI BUTTER
The peak of summer is often marked by an abundance of zucchini and the eternal question of what to do with it! By grating and slowly simmering zucchini with butter and shallots, you can transform 2 pounds of zucchini into a concentrated spread that you can keep stashed inside your fridge in a small jar. Inspired by Julia Child's Grated Zucchini Sautéed in Butter and Shallots recipe, this version cooks much longer to really intensify the vegetal sweetness of zucchini. Try it on buttered toast or loosen with pasta water and coat your favorite noodle instead of pesto.

Steps:
- Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater into a colander set over a bowl. Squeeze the zucchini to remove the excess liquid.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is very tender and almost paste-like but not browned, 35 to 40 minutes, mashing it with a fork in the last 5 minutes. If the zucchini starts sticking, stir in a splash of water; reduce the heat as needed to prevent browning.
- Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon zest and season with salt. Let cool, then discard the thyme and transfer to a small jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

ZUCCHINI BUTTER OR MARMALADE (YOU CHOOSE)
It takes a little time on the stove otherwise it is quite simple. Just a couple of ingredients slowly cooked in olive oil until jammy and buttery. Delicious on toast or sandwiches. AND it's something else to do with ZUCCHINI!!

Steps:
- Coarsely grate the zucchini. Let it drain in a colander for 3 to 4 minutes or until you are ready to begin cooking. To hasten cooking time, squeeze the water out of the zucchini by wringing it in a clean cloth towel.
- In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil/butter. Sauté the shallots briefly. Add the zucchini and toss. Cook and stir over medium to medium-high heat until the zucchini reaches a spreadable consistency. If you scorch the bottom, turn the flame down! (And scrape those delicious bits into the marmalade for added flavor.) The zucchini will hold its bright green color and slowly caramelize into a nice vegetable jam. Enjoy on toast, or as a side dish! Keeps well and can be stored in the refrigerator for about a month. One of my friends used red onion and garlic. She said it was fantastic!
