How to cook compote from zucchini and cherry plum with pineapple flavor
The amount of ingredients is calculated for 3 liter jars. But it can be varied. For example, I like to fill a jar up to the shoulders with zucchini rings and pieces, and then fill it to the top with cherry plums. Then the main character in the preparation becomes the squash pineapple.
If the goal is a sweet and sour drink, then the proportions are different. Although, no one will forbid reducing and adding cherry plums and slices of zucchini.
Compote can be sterilized to ensure it is preserved for the winter. If you don't mind the time, do it. But it has long been proven that if you prepare a drink with a double pour, it survives well until spring in an apartment, even under a nylon lid. Sour cherry plum acts as an excellent preservative.
What can you add to compote?
A sprig of mint, vanillin, lemon or lemon juice will add a special flavor, at the same time as an additional preservative. There is a wonderful option with pineapple juice; at the end I will give a video with a step-by-step recipe.
Take:
- Cherry plum.
- Sugar - for two 3 liter jars 700 g.
- Young zucchini.
- Citric acid - on the tip of a knife in each jar.
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash the cherry plum. Divide the vegetable into rings. If you prepare it in small jars, it is more convenient to cut the zucchini into cubes - more will fit. From the middle of the rings, select the seed part. It is very convenient to do this with any round object smaller in diameter. I have a small glass with which I cut out the middle, and then the blank looks like a pineapple ring. Place the cherry plums in a jar, then the zucchini rings. Add sugar, dividing the amount given in the recipe into 2 jars. If the jars are small, then count how much you need.
Boil water and pour into a jar. Warm the contents for about 15 minutes. Drain the syrup into a saucepan.
Boil the syrup, return to the jar and roll up.
If you are a proponent of sterilization, then after the first fill, place the jars to sterilize in a large saucepan filled with hot water.
Record the time after the liquid boils. Sterilize a 3 liter bottle for 15-20 minutes. When the cherry plum and zucchini rings float to the top, remove the jars and seal them.

How to make zucchini compote with pineapple flavor
Cut young zucchini into small cubes, cutting off only the tails. If your zucchini is mature, you will need to cut off the thick peel and remove large seeds.
Wash the lemon and cut into small slices; it will also be used for compote. A slight sourness will give the zucchini and compote a truly pineapple flavor.
Pour hot water over the zucchini, add lemons and sugar at once. Cook for 15 minutes at medium boil.
Pour the compote into sterilized jars, filling to the top. After cooking, the compote will change color slightly and become more yellow. And the zucchini will taste like real pineapples. However, the taste of the compote will be simply excellent.
Roll up the compote with screw or iron lids, insulate it and leave to cool. Store the finished compote until winter in a cool, dark place, usually a pantry, cellar or basement is suitable for this.

Original jam
It’s impossible to imagine preparing for the winter without jam, which means we’ll try to make it from zucchini and pineapples. In fact, it is not difficult, but on the contrary, it is exciting and also delicious.
This jam can be in pieces or in the form of puree - each method has its own characteristics. Zucchini does not have a distinct taste, so it very easily accepts the taste of additives, in our case, pineapple juice.
For this original jam you will need zucchini, pineapple juice and sugar.
For 1.5 kg of zucchini you will need:
- 1.2 kilograms of sugar;
- 0.5 teaspoon of citric acid;
- 1 small jar of canned pineapple (about the size of a glass).
We take into account already peeled and chopped zucchini.
- The juice (about 100 ml) is drained from the pineapples, and sugar syrup is prepared on it. While it is hot, pour this syrup over the zucchini, sprinkle with citric acid, stir and leave for an hour. This will keep the zucchini from boiling.
Cut the zucchini into small cubes
The jam is ready when it turns a clear amber color.
You can make jam using exactly the same recipe without using pineapple slices. It is enough to take 0.5 liters of pineapple juice for the same amount of food.
Please note: pineapple juice in any recipe can easily be replaced with marinade from a can of canned pineapple. Alternatively, you can use instant drinks like Zukko or Yupy.
Compote
For compote from “pineapple” zucchini, you don’t even need to use pineapple juice. Lemon juice and cloves add the appropriate taste.
- zucchini - 1 pc.;
- water - 2 l.;
- lemon - 1 pc.;
- sugar - 2 cups;
- cloves - 3 pcs.
Peel the zucchini and remove seeds, cut the pulp into small cubes.
Cut the zucchini pulp into cubes
Place the chopped zucchini in a suitable pan, add water and cook until boiling. Add sugar, reduce heat and continue cooking.
When the zucchini in the compote becomes transparent, you can add cloves to the syrup. After another 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the juice of one lemon to the compote.
Cooking with cherry plum
If, in addition to zucchini, you have a good harvest of cherry plum (or have the opportunity to buy it inexpensively), be sure to try this recipe.
Compote of zucchini and cherry plum with pineapple flavor
- 3–4 medium-sized ripe zucchini;
- sugar;
- yellow cherry plum.
Wash the zucchini, peel, remove the core and seeds, cut into half rings.
Prepare a 3-liter jar, sterilize and dry. Place 0.5 kg of cherry plum and slices of zucchini inside so that the jar is filled up to the shoulders. Pour boiling water over and leave for 20 minutes.
Drain the liquid from the jar into a saucepan, add sugar at the rate of 1.5 cups per 1 jar. Bring the syrup to a boil until the sugar dissolves and pour over the zucchini. Roll up the jars, wrap them in a blanket for two days so that the compote cools down, and put them in the basement.
You can try using plum instead of cherry plum. You don't have to remove the pits from the plums.

Preparations with the addition of other fruits and berries
Citrus fruits, especially oranges, will help give zucchini a pineapple flavor. There is no need to use pineapple juice in this recipe - neither natural nor instant.
- 3–4 medium zucchini;
- 1 liter of water;

Recipe for making zucchini compote for the winter, tastes like pineapple

Pineapple zucchini compote
Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
- First, wash the glass jars thoroughly. For this volume of ingredients you need two to three liters. I clean all my canning jars with regular baking soda, without any harmful cleaning products. There is no need to sterilize, as this is a waste of time. Firstly, we will put non-sterile vegetables in them, and secondly, we will later sterilize them with all their contents.
- We wash about 2 kg of yellow cherry plum and, if necessary, select spoiled ones and remove the tails.
- Take 3-4 medium zucchini. Wash and cut off the skin. The most convenient way to do this is with a special knife for peeling vegetables, but you can also use a regular one. Cut them in half and select the middle with the seeds. This is where a tablespoon comes in handy. Cut the dense pulp into medium pieces, similar to canned pineapple.

The process of preparing compote based on pineapple juice and zucchini:
- For the compote, we will need young zucchini that has no seeds. Wash the vegetables thoroughly and remove the skins with a knife.
- We cut the zucchini into thin rings; in the finished drink they will resemble pineapple slices.
- We wash the orange, cut it into two parts and squeeze out the juice using a special device. You can also use a juicer for this purpose, it will be faster and easier.
- Take a large saucepan and pour the required amount of pineapple and orange juice into it, place the zucchini rings here.
- Let the zucchini steep in fruit juice for 1 hour.
- After a while, put the container with juice and zucchini on the stove, add granulated sugar there along with citric acid.
- Bring everything to a boil over medium heat. After the liquid boils, boil the vegetables for 3 minutes. Cooking longer is not recommended, as the zucchini will lose its crunchy properties.
- Compote with zucchini and pineapple juice is ready. Now let's start preparing the jars.
- For compote, you can use 2 or 3 liter jars.
- We wash the glass container along with baking soda.
- After this, sterilize the jars by steaming, this will take 7 minutes.
- Boil the metal lids in a separate saucepan for 5 minutes.
- Place the sterile jars upside down on a towel and let them cool slightly.
- Pour the hot fruit and vegetable compote into jars up to the neck; each jar should contain a sufficient number of zucchini rings.
- Now we seal the jars of compote with sterilized lids.
- We turn the jars of compote over and place them on a blanket, wrap them well.
- After a day, we send the workpiece to the pantry for further storage.
- The compote can be stored for a whole year, as it contains citric acid, which acts as a preservative. The compote can be served with or without pulp. Canned zucchini also comes in handy and makes an excellent topping for homemade baked goods.
