Delicious jam from pumpkin, oranges and lemons

Today I will tell you how to make jam from pumpkin, oranges and lemons. Of course, just the word “jam” already makes the dish sweet and high in calories, but in the case of pumpkin this is not true. Delicious pumpkin jam with oranges and lemons can be eaten even by those on a strict diet. My simple preparation recipe, with step-by-step photos taken, is at your service.

To prepare one serving of jam you will need:

• orange pumpkin – 1 kg;
• orange – 1 piece;
• lemon – 1 pc.;
• granulated sugar – 600 gr.

Please note that you do not need to add water to this jam! Pumpkin and citrus juice are the basis of the jam.

How to make pumpkin jam with orange and lemon

When starting to cook, cut the pumpkin, remove the pulp and seeds, cut off the skin, and cut into small cubes. The smaller you cut the pumpkin, the faster you will make the jam. You can see in the photo what size cubes I cut.

Cut the orange and lemon into pieces, remove the seeds, but do not cut off the peel.

Place the pumpkin and chopped citrus fruits in a large saucepan and sprinkle granulated sugar on top. Place the pan in the refrigerator for several hours until the pumpkin becomes soft and releases juice.

After the juice has appeared, put the pan on low heat, bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 hours on the lowest heat. You need to stir it often.

When the workpiece reaches the consistency you need, simply place it hot in sterilized jars under nylon lids.

We store it in an apartment for up to six months.

As a result, when we open the jar in winter, we will get a product that is almost like jam – thick and aromatic. I serve this pumpkin jam with tea, pancakes and pancakes. With a light citrus aroma, slightly sour pumpkin jam with orange and lemon leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
