Ingredients
- 500g Pumpkin
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 4 Cloves
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel and remove the seeds from the pumpkin. Cut it into small cubes (about 1 inch in size).
- In a large pot, combine the pumpkin cubes, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin becomes soft and the liquid begins to thicken (about 30 minutes).
- Once the pumpkin is tender, remove the cinnamon stick and cloves from the mixture.
- Add the lemon juice and ground cinnamon, and stir well.
- Continue to cook and stir for another 5-10 minutes until the liquid has thickened into a syrup and the pumpkin pieces become almost translucent.
- Remove from heat and let the candy cool for about 15 minutes in the pot.
- Transfer the pumpkin candy to a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, you can serve the pumpkin candy or store it in an airtight container for up to a week.
