Description

A simple way to make ahead for later. Zucchini caviar prepared through a meat grinder is a simple and reliable way to put up a tasty, healthy vegetable appetizer for winter. It comes out smooth and uniform, soft in texture and full of flavor, pairs well with side dishes, or works as a spread on bread. This preserve can be kept for up to a year in an apartment pantry. The preserve is ready for winter storage.
