I have made a similar recipe to this in the past and it is wonderful. I use it in my Christmas backing for anything that calls for mixed fruit. Last Christmas a tub of Glazed Cherries was over $10.00. It is well worth the time it takes to make it, if you have a lot of zucchini to use up.

I have just recently retired. I worked in the banking industry for 25 yrs. My husband and I own a cottage and have spent most of this last summer at the lake. We go there in the winter as well. I love to cook and I collect recipes.
