Instructions:

For the pumpkin-ginger-cinnamon jam, wash the jam jars and lids, boil and disinfect with apple brandy. Place the pumpkin flesh in a wide saucepan with apple juice and simmer, covered, until the pumpkin is tender.

Skim off the foam if necessary. Add cinnamon stick and ginger. Cover and allow to cool. Remove the cinnamon stick.

Stir in preserving sugar and lemon juice and cook as directed in preserving sugar instructions. Skim off any foam that appears. For the jelly test, put some jam on a cold porcelain plate.

If it gels, it can be bottled (pumpkin generally gels worse). Otherwise, add some lemon juice and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Fill the pumpkin-ginger-cinnamon jam as hot as possible, to the brim, into the prepared jars and seal immediately. Place the jars upside down on a tray covered with a damp cloth for 10 minutes.

Then invert the jars again and let cool on the tray. Store in a cool and dark place.

Preparation Tip:

For the pumpkin-ginger-cinnamon jam, nutmeg or Hokkaido pumpkin are particularly suitable. Very delicate as an accompaniment to cheese.
