Cooking process

Jam from a pumpkin – tasty and useful. Especially I like it with the addition of a citrus note, for example, a lemon. Lemon, together with the zest, can be chopped or simply cut into pieces. The spices also perfectly transform the taste. I can not decide what I like best: cinnamon, ginger or cardamom and each time I cook in different ways.

It is believed that it is best to use fresh pumpkin, grown in her own season, although in supermarkets they are sold all year round and in my opinion always in the subject. I myself freeze a pumpkin in autumn, immediately cut into pieces.
