French style jam for those special mornings working in the garden. Cucumbers are more versatile than just raw. This is divine over toasts, English muffins, scones, and the cream biscuit. Easy enough for a special breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. Walk on the wild side, I Dare you! We have a wonderful food history in this country that goes back centuries. Look forward but remembering the taste of the past.
- 1 ¼ cups peeled, seeded, and grated cucumber (from 2 medium cucumbers)
- 1 cup jam sugar or 1 cup of cane sugar plus 2 teaspoons of no sugar needed pectin
- seeds from one vanilla pod
- Place all the ingredients in a medium pan and stir well.
- Marinate for two hours.
- Over high heat, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes or until the jam coats the back of a cold metal spoon.
- Transfer to a clean jar, close the lid and allow the jam to cool upside-down.
- Chill and keep in the fridge.

Wonderful recipe! I should try it, I simply love canning with ‘cheap’ ingredients and make something tasty. Can you use ‘normal’ green cucumbers for this instead of these lovely yellow ones in the picture? I have never seen those…
Any coke should do garden fresh the better
Those are lemon cucumbers very fragrant
Thank you! I looked them up and apparently the climate is too cold 😦
I could try my greenhouse though..
My climate is zone 3a and started them in the ground
I looked that up as well: I am in zone 7 (the Netherlands).
