Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 2 kg (4 lb) pumpkin or squash flesh, (seeds removed)
• 190 ml (1/3rd of a pint) water
• 2 kg (4 lb) brown sugar (demerara, muscovado or any unrefined sugar - even jaggery would be fine)
• 225 g (8 oz) butter
• 6 lemons

Mise en place

• Wash the pumpkin well, chop into manageable slices and boil in unsalted water until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes will be sufficient for most squashes.
• Scoop the flesh out of the skins and reserve. This is much easier than trying to peel the squash before boiling.

Method

1. Rub the flesh through a sieve into a large pan
2. Zest and juice all 6 lemons discarding pips and pith
3. Add the juice, zest and sugar to the flesh and slowly bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring often
4. Allow to cool and store in clean sterilised jars as you would for jam
5. It should set once cool
