I picked this pumpkin and ginger jam recipe to feature on Pumpkin Festival, a Polish food blog event hosted by Bea from Moja Kuchnia food blog (the blog is also available in French here). It was easy to make and came out delicious. What I particularly like about it, is that the jam isn't too sweet and has a lovely slightly spicy ginger flavor which goes perfectly with the mild pumpkin taste. The author of this lovely recipe is Pille from Nami Nami food blog. You can check the original recipe on her blog here.
Pumpkin and Ginger Jam
Makes 4 jars (250 ml each)
1 kg pumpkin , diced
60 g freshly grated ginger
1 lemon
200 ml water
500 g jam sugar (with pectin)
1. Wash and dry the lemon . Grate the zest. Remove the white pith and discard. Cut the lemon flesh into small pieces.
2. Place the pumpkin, water, lemon flesh and ginger in a large heavy bottomed pot. Cover and simmer until soft. Remove the lid for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking to enable the extra moisture to evaporate.
3. Smash the pumpkin with a wooden spoon , or if you want a very smooth jam, press through a fine sieve.
4. Add sugar and lemon zest. Cook for 10 minutes.
5. Spoon hot jam into sterilized jars and close immediately.
