Pumpkin Marmalade

If this does not bring country into any home I don't know what does. Yummy

I found this recipe

Must go buy pumpkins when they are in season so you can make this marmalade.

Rather than waste all that lovely orange flesh make marmalade.

Orange Marmalade

A little word of warning…. it is a 2 day process.

Ingredients:

• 1 pumpkin about 4 lbs weight

• 2 lbs sugar

• 3 lemons

• 1 orange

Day 1.

Cut pumpkin in half and scoop/scrape out the seeds and fibre. Cut the pumpkin into smaller more manageable pieces and peel off the rind. Chop the peeled pumpkin into 1/4 inch cubes and put in a large pot with half the sugar.

Let this stand overnight.

Day 2.

Next day cut the citrus fruits in half, remove seeds and chop into smaller pieces. Process these pieces in a food processor. Add citrus to pot with pumpkin. Add the remaining sugar.

Put pot over low heat, stirring until sugar melts and it comes to the boil.

Reduce heat and keep at a fast simmer for 3 or 4 hours, stirring often. Cook until fruit is clear and syrup is thick. This marmalade does not set like a regular marmalade or jam, but this does not diminish from the overall taste.
