- young zucchini - 140 g,
- orange - 1 pc.,
- sugar - 630 g,
- citric acid - a pinch,
- water - 55-60 ml,
- spices - to taste.
First of all, we will directly deal with the cleansing of the pumpkin - we take a sharp knife, remove the top layer from the orange vegetable. Next, divide the pumpkin into two halves, scraping the pulp and seeds from each with a sharp spoon. Only now we send the pumpkin under a stream of cool water, rinse it thoroughly and dry it. 
Next, we need a blender bowl with a metal "knife" attachment, into which we throw randomly chopped pumpkin, the method of cutting is not important, since in the end we will grind it anyway. 
We also rinse and dry young zucchini, cut it arbitrarily, send it to the blender bowl. Put half of the sliced orange, previously peeled and white, soft layer there. Squeeze the juice from the second half directly into the blender bowl. 
We turn on the highest speed, grind the ingredients for several minutes. Let the blender rest a little, repeat the grinding again. The result is a mixture that looks like a medium-sized crumb. 
We take a thick-bottomed pan, put it in it bright mix from the bowl, add a little water and granulated sugar. 
We send the pan to the stove, bring the contents to a boil, with medium heat we cook our jam for about 35-40 minutes. If your pot has non-stick coating, do not worry, we leave the jam to cook on our own, if there is no such coating, periodically we look in and stir the jam so that it does not burn. Five minutes before the end of cooking, add a pinch of citric acid. 
We pack hot jam into jars. We wash and sterilize the jars, we also do with the lids. 
We seal it hermetically, cool it upside down for a day, wrapping the jars with a blanket. If a little jam is left, put it in a beautiful bowl, brew tea and enjoy your rest. 
Enjoy your meal!
