Instructions

  1. In a large pot, add the piloncillo, cloves, cinnamon sticks broken into pieces and water.
  2. Cook over medium heat until the piloncillo starts to soften. Break into pieces with a spoon. About 2 minutes.
  3. Place the pumpkin slices on top and cover. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until all of the pieces are soft. During this process, make sure to move the pieces around so that all of them get infused with the honey-like syrup.
  4. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • Before cutting, wash the outside of the pumpkin very well with soap to remove all impurities. 
  • While cooking, don't forget to move the pieces around so that all of them get infused with the honey-like syrup.
