Faux Fruit Fun

🥒 When Life Gives You Zucchini…

Late summer gardens always seem to turn into zucchini factories. At first, you’re tossing it on the grill, spiralizing it into noodles, baking it into bread and sneaking it into brownies. But what do you do with those baseball bat-sized zucchinis and scalloped summer squash the size of UFOs that seem to appear overnight? You’re running out of friends to pawn them of on, so...

🍋 Make Faux Fruit!

That’s where the fun begins. Instead of another casserole, turn your over-large summer squash into “mock fruit” — a clever preserving trick that transforms plain old squash into something that tastes like pineapple, apple pie filling, pears, or even mangos. The secret? Flavorful vomFASS fruit vinegars, little sugar, and some fruit juice!

These mock fruits can be canned in a water bath and enjoyed on their own lower carb merits or used to baked with throughout the year. And, no one will lock the door, turn off the lights and pretend they aren't home when go you to share them (gardeners will know what we're talking about here 👩🏻🌾)!

⚗️ Why It Works

Zucchini’s secret superpower? It’s a flavor sponge. Pair it with bright juices and gourmet vinegars, and it soaks up every fruity, tangy note — giving you preserves that taste like the real thing (but with a clever garden story to tell).

Not all “fruit vinegars” are created equal. While many producers simply infuse a plain base vinegar with fruit flavoring, vomFASS fruit balsamics are the real deal — crafted the old-world way. We start with real fruit, ferment it into wine, then carefully take it to a vinegar state. The result? 100% single-fruit vinegars — nothing artificial, nothing watered down. Just pure, vibrant flavor in every drop to add the magic to mock fruit preserves and excitement to your pantry. 

So, when life hands you way too much summer squash, don’t just shred it into bread —make some fun faux fruits!
