Share:
Ingredients
- 4 lb pumpkin (weighed once peeled and cut)
- 2½ cups caster sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves
- 8 oz. walnuts kernels
- tahini (optional)
Equipment
- Dutch oven
Instructions
- Peel, wash and cut the pumpkin into rectangular pieces of about 1x2 inches (3x5 cm).
- Place the pumpkin pieces and cloves in a large non-stick Dutch oven. The Dutch oven must be large because the maximum number of pumpkin pieces must touch the bottom.
- Cover all the pumpkin pieces with the caster sugar.
- Cover and let stand and macerate for 8 hours at room temperature.
- Drizzle the pumpkin pieces with water, cover the pot and cook, without stirring, over low heat for 45 minutes.
- Tilt the Dutch oven in several directions to distribute the sugar and water, if necessary.
- While the pumpkin cooks, roast the walnut kernels and crush them.
- 15 minutes before the end of cooking, add the lemon juice and tilt the Dutch oven to distribute it.
- At the end of cooking, let cool and serve sprinkled with crushed nuts.
- Optionally accompany with a little tahini.
