And this will please many, because a very useful orange root crop has its own unusual and specific flavor. However, the flesh of the orange bbw absorbs various flavors well.

I won’t be shy and say that this pumpkin jam recipe is perfect in proportion and probably the most delicious you have ever tried!

It turns out deliciously fragrant citrus-pumpkin jam - you will lick your fingers! And nothing else is needed, except that you can add a little spice. Spicy cinnamon, star anise, fragrant anise, invigorating ginger and a pinch of nutmeg, which is called a natural flavor enhancer, will do. Unusual additive - ground nuts (walnuts, pine nuts). There are harvesting options with sea buckthorn, apples, dried apricots - pumpkin goes well with many fruits and berries. But still, if you are preparing pumpkin jam for the first time, I advise you not to use other additives, but to take only those ingredients that are listed below. You should first try the jam in its original form, and then decide for yourself whether you need to add anything at all.
Pumpkin delicacy looks very beautiful: small pieces of orange, lemon and pumpkin float in a thick and clear sugar syrup. And the color is simply amazing: bright orange, warm and sunny - in winter, a jar of this sweet dessert will definitely cheer you up and give you strength. Pumpkin jam is not only very beautiful and tasty, it gives the body invaluable benefits. Orange, lemon - these citruses are energizing. Pumpkin removes excess fluid and toxins, which is why it is often included in the diet menu. So you can pamper yourself a little with sweets and at the same time keep your body in good shape! Before moving on to the step-by-step recipe, here is another reason to make jam: it will be a good filling for fruit pies and other pastries, as well as a vitamin supplement for tea, a sweet snack for cereals, cottage cheese, cheesecakes, pancakes, etc.
To make jam you will need:
1. Sweet jam for the winter is obtained from a pumpkin, which has bright and juicy flesh. Moreover, this preparation retains its taste qualities better. We clean the pumpkin from the peel and seeds, cut into small cubes. 1.5-2 cm each will be fine, such pieces will boil well.
2. Cut the oranges into small pieces. Do not forget to thoroughly wash the peel before cutting.
3. Cut the lemon along with the zest. So that the skin does not taste bitter, pour boiling water over the fruit several times. Do not forget to remove the stones from all fruits. Because of them, a slight bitterness will appear, and it is unpleasant to stumble upon solid particles in soft jam.
4. Lemon and orange are placed in a bowl or pan. We take an aluminum or stainless steel container.
5. We fall asleep citruses with sugar.
6. Pour water and mix well so that the sugar is completely dissolved. If the pumpkin is juicy, then less water can be taken, and vice versa.
7. Bring to a boil, cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. We turn off the fire.
8. Pour the pumpkin into the hot syrup. It does not boil soft thanks to lemon and infusion in syrup. You will get a beautiful amber jam with whole soft pieces.
9. Stir the jam and leave to cool and soak for a day.
10. We return to the jam. All components are already saturated with fruit and sugar syrup. Boil 3 more times for 15 minutes after boiling, each time completely cooling the jam. Before our eyes, it becomes thicker, and the pieces of pumpkin are softer and smaller in size (boil down and shrink). Why do we cook not immediately for 30-45 minutes, but in stages? With this method, more useful substances are preserved, and even pieces of pumpkin and citrus have time to better soak in syrup and in no case turn into porridge. In the process of insisting, we look: if there is not enough water, we add it before putting the jam on the fire.
11. Before we boil the jam for the last time, we prepare the jars. We wash them with soda and sterilize them so that our jam can be preserved until winter. For convenience, all the sterilization rules are already here.
The step-by-step photo shows that the pumpkin has boiled down, a transparent amber syrup has turned out, the jam is ready to be rolled into jars.
12. Gently pour hot jam with pieces of pumpkin, orange and lemon into hot jars using a spoon or ladle. We fill the containers completely, to the very neck. It is more convenient to store the workpiece in small jars.
13. Roll up with sterilized lids, turn over. You can not wrap the jam, just wait for it to cool and put it in a dark cupboard, store at room temperature.
14. The most delicious pumpkin, lemon and orange jam is ready. Bon appetit!
Pumpkin is perfectly stored in its natural, so to speak, form. And everything would be fine, but not everyone has the opportunity to put a dozen or one and a half orange balls for storage in an apartment, so most often city housewives prefer to preserve a pumpkin. One option for preserving pumpkins for the winter is pumpkin jam. Those who have never tried this jam should at least try to cook a couple of jars of amber delicacy for the purpose of the experiment. Try it and make sure that the pumpkin jam turns out to be tender, fragrant, without the specific smell inherent in raw pumpkin.
To make jam, not quite ripe fruits are selected, peeled and seeds are peeled and cut into cubes, sticks or slices or rubbed on a coarse grater. To give the jam an additional taste and aroma, citrus fruits, apples, currant berries or sea buckthorn are added to it - in general, any fruit or berry with a pronounced sour taste. The general principles of cooking pumpkin jam do not differ from the usual ones: jam can be cooked in one go, in half an hour or an hour, depending on the recipe, or in several steps, allowing the pumpkin to soak in syrup.
It is advisable to sterilize jam jars in the oven. If this is not possible, sterilize the jars over steam, but let them dry completely before filling them with jam. Pumpkin jam can be packaged simply in clean jars and covered with parchment or plastic lids, but then it will have to be stored in the refrigerator.

850-900 g of sugar.

Peel the skin and seeds from the pumpkin, peel the lemon and orange and remove the seeds. Pass the pumpkin and citrus fruits through a meat grinder, add sugar and stir until it is all dissolved.

2 kg pumpkin,
2 oranges
2 lemons
850-900 g fructose.
Cooking:

If we take the issue of preserving vitamins very seriously, then it’s better to use ceramic knives to peel fruits, and grind the pumpkin not in a meat grinder, but on a plastic grater (of course, you will have to suffer, but you will get a real vitamin bomb!)
Good luck preparing!
