Ingredients:

8 cups pumpkin puree (I used homemade roasted pumpkin)

3-4 cups sugar (varies according to desire)

2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

Optional: 1 tsp orange zest

How to make it:

1. Melt sugar in a large, high pot on medium heat, stirring constantly (be careful not to burn it)

2. When the sugar melts, add the pumpkin and stir well

3. Add the spices & stir well

4. The pumpkin will release it’s water so there’s no need to add any liquids

5. The mixture will come to a boil, let it boil until reduced and reaches the desired jam texture, while frequently stirring (about 1-2 hours)

6. Once it does, turn off the heat and add the lemon juice & orange zest.

7. Let it cool completely and store in jars in the fridge
