Ingredients
1 kg pumpkin or squash, peeled and chopped into small pieces
275 ml water
1 small stick cinnamon
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice or Mixed Spice
8 tbsp lemon juice
1 kg jam sugar
Instructions
In a large preserving pan, combine chopped pumpkin, water, grated ginger, and spices. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30–40 minutes until pumpkin is soft.
Remove cinnamon stick. Use a stick blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
Keep the puree over low heat. Stir in jam sugar until dissolved. Add lemon juice.
Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 5–10 minutes, or until it reaches the setting point (104°C / 220°F). Use the wrinkle test if desired.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars. Seal immediately and let cool.
Notes
Use fresh, uncarved pumpkins for the best flavor—avoid using decorative or previously cut pumpkins.
If Pumpkin Pie Spice isn’t available, substitute with Mixed Spice or create your own blend.
Add a pinch of ground cloves or extra cinnamon for a deeper spiced profile.
Properly sterilize jars to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage.
