Courgette, Ginger & Lime Jam

You will need:

500g Courgettes (trimmed and ribboned)

400g Caster Sugar

20g Root Ginger (peeled and cut into thin matchsticks)

3 Limes, Zest of 1 1/2 & Juice of all 3 

Start by placing all of the ingredients in a bowl together and set aside for a few hours. The Courgette should release a lot of liquid for the sugar to dissolve into.

Add the contents of the bowl to a heavy-based pan and place on high heat for 5-10 minutes.

Then remove the courgette from the pan and leave the syrup on the heat to thicken a little for 5-10 minutes.

Return the courgette to the pan and allow it to cool for 30 minutes before jarring.

Add the mixture into a sterilised jar and it will keep for a good few weeks in the fridge. 

This is more syrupy than a traditional set jam and perfect for stirring through yoghurt!
