Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 cups granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 powdered drink mix, any flavor (kool-ade)
Directions
-
Peel and cut off ends of zucchini. Quarter length wise and remove seeds and soft centers with a spoon. Cut into half inch pieces. (I cut mine into 1 inch pieces…sometimes bigger)
-
Combine 2 cups sugar, water and kool-ade in a medium pot. Cook over high heat until mixture comes to a boil and sugar desolves. Reduce heat to medium low and add zucchini.
-
Simmer until zucchini is tender, 15-20 minutes.
-
Set a strainer over a large bowl and drain zucchini. Allow to drain and cool for 30 minutes. Reserve liquid for making more candy later.
-
Place zucchini pieces in a food dehydrator for about 8 hours or until mostly dry but still slightly sticky (Alternately you could place pieces on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet and put in the oven set to the lowest temperature with the door cracked slightly).
-
Roll pieces in granulated sugar and let cool completely.
-
-
Store in an air tight container.
