   Add the lemon juice and ground cinnamon, and stir well.

6. 6

   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.
