Confiture De Citrouille (Pumpkin Jam)
Confiture De Citrouille is a pumpkin jam made from pureed pumpkin cooked with sugar, apple cider, and apple cider vinegar, flavored with ginger, cinnamon, chili garlic sauce, nutmeg, and salt. The result is a spiced, thickened preserve with a balance of sweetness and mild heat. It is cooked down until reduced and thick, then jarred for storage and later use.

Ingredients
- 1 ounce can (425 g) pumpkin sometimes just called "pumpkin", puree
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups apple cider
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely grated fresh
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon fresh ground or dry nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Wash jars and lids (tops) in hot soapy water or run through the dishwasher.
- Combine all ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Maintain a steady boil and cook for 15-20 minutes stirring frequently to keep the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Each time you stir, also scrape down the sides of the pot. I like to use a silicone heat-resistant spatula for stirring and scraping.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the jam has reduced by over half and is beginning to thicken. Jam will thicken more as it cools. Transfer to clean jars and cover with lids. Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate or freeze

Notes
- Sanitize jars and lids thoroughly before filling to ensure safe preservation.
- Jam thickens more as it cools, so don’t overcook trying to reach final consistency during cooking.
- This recipe yields approximately 3 to 3½ cups of pumpkin jam, depending on jar size.
- Store finished jam refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness.
