Pumpkin is one of the healthiest vegetables that can be grown in a garden bed. Pumpkin is inexpensive, but full of vitamins and nutrients.
You can make anything from it. From a light soup to stewed meat and even a delicate dessert or aromatic pastry.
We'll tell you how to make pumpkin jam.
You will need:
- pumpkin pulp - 1 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- orange - 3-4 pcs.;
- lemon - 2 pcs.
How to cook
1. Cut the pumpkin pulp into cubes, and peel and seed the oranges.
2. Place the products in a saucepan with a thick bottom and walls, add sugar and leave for 20-30 minutes so that the fruits and vegetables release juice.
3. Cook over low heat for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally and only after the preparation starts to release juice.
4. After this, you need to remove the pan from the stove, cover with a lid and leave for an hour.
Then you can pour the jam into jars. Store in the cellar or in the refrigerator, or serve immediately.
Bon appetit!
