Lemon and pumpkin jam

In the original recipe for lemon and pumpkin jam, the neutral vegetable taste of pumpkin is well emphasized by the bright citrus aroma.

To make jam with whole pieces of pumpkin in clear syrup, it is not recommended to take overripe vegetables: they quickly boil down and make the syrup cloudy. And to make the jam acquire a rich amber color, choose a pumpkin with bright pulp.
