Found this recipe online and decided to post it here for safe keeping. Make sure you cook the pumpkin well before adding the sugar or the pieces will remain hard. I grated the pumpkin.

Provided by Wild Thyme Flour

Categories     Jellies

Time 30m

Yield 3 jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg chopped up pumpkin flesh
50 -70 g peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 lemon
200 ml water
500 g jam sugar (with added pectin)

Steps:

  • Wash the lemon, pat dry and grate the zest. Remove the white pith and discard. Cut the lemon flesh into smaller pieces.
  • Place pumpkin, water, lemon flesh and grated ginger into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook on a low heat, covered, until the pumpkin flesh is softened. Remove the lid for the last 5 to 10 minutes, so the extra moisture could evaporate.
  • Smash the pumpkin flesh with a wooden spoon until broken (or press through a fine sieve, if you want a very smooth jam).
  • Add the jam sugar and grated lemon zest, and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the hot jam into sterilised jars and close immediately.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin. I always have extra pumpkin after Halloween and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed this jam. The ginger really balances out the pumpkin flavor.
