Ingredients




6 Zucchini, medium, very firm, peeled
2 cups Sugar, granulated
cup Water
1 tablespoon Lemon juice, strained, or other flavoring, see notes

Preparation

1 Make syrup by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes. Cut zucchini into 1/2" cubes. Drop cubes into boiling syrup and cook over low heat only until barely tender (they will become somewhat transluscent). Chill in the syrup overnight. 2 The next day, spread cubes on dryer trays and dry at 135F for about 8 to 12 hours, until leathery. Store airtight. 3 Flavor notes: This is very good and has almost no (if any) squash flavor. I asked DH to taste a batch made with a tiny bit of red food color and 1/2 ts. cherry flavor in place of the lemon juice, and he guessed that it was 4 "dried apricots"!
