HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN JAM

Step 1: In a large saucepan, add the pumpkin cut into pieces, light brown sugar, orange peel, cinnamon stick and the orange juice. Mix everything very well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2: When starts boiling, reduce to medium heat and cook the pumpkin for about 25 minutes.

Step 3: Turn off the heat and remove the orange peel and the cinnamon stick. Using a hand blender, blend the pumpkin pieces until smooth.

Step 4: Place the pan back on the stove over low heat for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan. (To check if the jam is ready, pour some of the jam onto a plate and run a spoon through the middle of the jam. If it leaves a trail like a road, the jam is ready.)

Step 5: When the jam starts to thicken, turn off the heat. Pour the jam into glass jars and allow to cool completely. Reserve the jam on the fridge.

Step 6: Serve this delicious pumpkin jam with crackers, toasts and fresh cheese.

RECIPE TIPS

1. To check if the jam is ready, pass a wooden spoon in the bottom of the saucepan and if it leaves a trail like a road you can turn off the heat.

2. How to store: Let the jam cool to room temperature and store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar tightly closed. If it is sealed tightly, you can store the jam for about 1 month. After this period, it may begin to lose quality and develop microorganisms.
