AUTHENTIC DULCE DE CALABAZA (MEXICAN PUMPKIN CANDY)



Authentic Dulce De Calabaza (Mexican Pumpkin Candy) image

This is the real candy you can find at the flea market or your grandma's house! Hard on the outside, sweet and juicy on the inside. I used about half of the sugar the recipe calls for and it was sweet enough--you can taste the freshness of the fruit in every bite! You may find the hydrated lime (or calcium hydroxide, or slaked lime) in specialty grocery stores (Mexican product is called Cal) or garden center.
