Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 pound pumpkin, peeled and seeded
3 cups sugar
Zest of 2 limes, cut into very thin strips

Steps:

  • Cut the pumpkin into wedges about 3 to 4 inches wide. Cut across wedges to form slices about 1/4 inch wide; set aside.
  • Combine 2 cups sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin pieces; stir until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is translucent and sugar has formed a light-amber-colored caramel, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Remove pumpkin from caramel with a slotted spoon, and dry on a rack set over a cookie sheet for at least 12 hours, turning the pumpkin pieces once or twice.
