My Welcome to Maine Fall Pumpkin Jam image

This recipe is for canning. I adore anything to do with pumpkin sweet or savory. Pumpkin soup, puree, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cakes and breads. This is all about New England and what a Maine fall is to me. I prefer the smaller "sugar pumpkins" or the "milk/cheese pumpkin" which has a white-ish peel. I do recommend using the fresh pumpkin. You can do anything with this from spreading on toast to replacing canned pumpkin in sweet recipes. Try on a hot scone,Mmm!

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 8oz Jar, 128 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lbs fresh pumpkin or 5 lbs canned pumpkin
1 lb dried apricot
1 lb seedless raisin
2 1/2 lbs sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • If using fresh pumpkin, peel, remove seeds, cut into 2-3" chunks and place in large pot with enough water to prevent scorching. I use approximately 1/2 cup of water.
  • When soft, mash and sieve pumpkin to make a puree of the pumpkin.
  • If watery, gently simmer to evaporate much of this water. Add sugar and allow to stand for 12 hours. Cut apricots into eighths, approximately the size of your raisins.
  • Add raisins, apricots lemon juice, and spices to pumpkin which has stood with sugar.
  • Cook slowly on medium heat until the mixture is thickened. Seal, and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.

This recipe is a waste of time. The jam never thickened, and it tasted terrible.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jam turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see why others would enjoy it.

This jam is so delicious and versatile. I love using it in both sweet and savory dishes. It's great on toast, crackers, or even ice cream. I also like to use it as a glaze for chicken or pork.

I've been making this jam for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect addition to a cheese plate or charcuterie board, and it's also great on pancakes or waffles.

I made this jam for the first time last fall, and it was a huge hit with my family and friends. It's so easy to make, and the flavor is amazing. I love that it's not too sweet, and the pumpkin flavor really shines through.

This pumpkin jam is a delightful fall treat! The flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg are perfectly balanced, and the jam has a lovely texture. I spread it on toast for breakfast, and it was the perfect way to start my day.
