Interesting! I never knew about this recipe. It makes me wonder if you could use zucchini in place of other things. I love canning red hot apple chunks, they are like Christmas in a jar. I wonder if I could replace the apples with zucchini in that recipe too?
Great harvest. Great video.
We just Love watching Tod working with you. You're awesome team.🙂
I have been looking for ways to use the shredded mock pineapple. So far I've made pineapple upside down cake and Hawaiian Banana Bread. We ate the Hawaiian Banana Bread in 1 day. I'm planning to can up tidbits this year to use in more ways. Thank you for giving me the idea last year to deal with my zucchini. Watch you guys everyday with my morning ☕️
Oh my word. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is delicious as well as an awesome way to use uo extra zucchini. I have made both the tidbits and shredded. Thank you I love it.
Can't wait to try these. I finally grew some productive zucchini plants. Thanks for everything. Love ya both.
I would love to know where the farmers market is that you talk about. Thanks and keep up the sharing, I love your process and your personality. Good job to Todd for being your expert chopper too 🙂
I use cooking pears to make "mock" apple pie
Will this work for other flavours? Like apple, apricot, pear etc?
You can’t have too many zucchini recipes when there is a bumper crop lol. May try this one if fall brings me a good harvest.
Such an interesting video to watch, Rachel and Todd! When I was a baby water-bath canner I of course had to try the mock-zucchini method. It was so much fun however…I think my zucchini must have had too much water content and diluted the pineapple juice too much. When I cracked open the jars it really tasted like sweet zucchini and not like pineapple at all. Made me sad and I didn't try that again until a couple of years ago. Hubby isn't really much of a fan of pineapple in the first place so I re-thought the process and did shreds the 2nd time thinking it would be a nice pineapple taste but without the mouth feel of the actual fruit, right? I think it worked but he still balked at the pineapple taste, haha. So I guess I just have to admit defeat and leave the zucchini for other purposes. So I guess I will just get to enjoy seeing you can your mock-pineapple and look forward to seeing how you and Todd use it in your meals of the week videos (hopefully!). Thank you and I hope you are enjoying your summer still.
I have mine in the water bath now. It tastes awesome! I sure admire your organizational skills when canning. I have shredded zucchini everywhere!!
Hey Rachel I was just wondering if you have ever tried to can a mock apple pie filling with the zucchini ? Been wanting to try it ,I have searched but haven't really seen anyone that has done it. Just wondering what your thoughts on it are.
I adore the assembly line kind of work. Great video
How do you keep your veggies crisp after canning them? I am having trouble 😟
Do you have a book with all your recipes?
Have you ever used a different juice like apple cider ?
Thank you ❤️ that looks so delicious. It would go well with ham. I can’t keep my daughter from eating all the pineapple 😂
AWESOME I have 2 zucchini plants and gather every other day. I dehydrated slices with sea salt n italian herbs, for lasagna. Monday will be doing Chicken n also your zucchini pineapple chunks. Very cool idea.. Thanks. New subscriber

I love my new steamer water bath method so easy. Less water our water her in Ontario is very expensive . So I am very happy with mine.
I tried it today- it's wonderful. My husband was skeptical and gave me a look when I mentioned it. He can't get over it!
I am going to try this! Thank you for posting it, especially helpful to find good zucchini recipes!
Hey guys new to this homesteading lifestyle. Been canning for almost a year. Somehow I've discovered I have 3 dozen half pint jars that I thought were pints. Can a person use these for small portions of soup perhaps? I understand the concept of rebel canning. I'm thinkg since i cant find this anywhere on the nhfp site, just go with the time recommended for pints. What do you think?
I LOVE this recipe! I make it with Rampicante squash and it’s fantastic! Definitely fooled the picky kids! We’ve made at least 16 pints of it this year already out of our little garden. Thank you for sharing this!
I like that you can the leftover juices, brine, etc. not a bit of waste.
Wow this is awesome!
I canned shredded mock pineapple last year and omg I put that on pizza every time! It’s so good!
This is the best recipe ever. I like to make crushed "pineapple" too. It's a great way to use up those zucchini that are getting huge and tough.
Hi Rachel
Can you share your farmers market location. I know your going to do a video but we would like to go soon to check it out. Thanks…. Love your videos. You’ve change my whole out look on canning💕
Thanks for sharing another use for zucchini!!! Looks like Todd is sporting Cliff Calvin's tan lines from Cheers!! Any whoo, have a super day! ✌️
