Cooking
Take a pumpkin. I have a weight of 3 kg to make 1 kg of pulp, you will need half.
Cut the pumpkin and take out seed part
Pumpkin cut into slices
Each lobule remove the skins and be sure the stringy part of the pulp. If this is not done, then the finished product will meet fibers resembling hairs.
The cleaned pulp is weighed
Pumpkin slices cut into slices the thickness of 5-6 mm
Fill with water and put on medium heat. After boiling, remove the fire to minimum, cover and proverjaem 15 minutes. Suggest you check the pieces for softness. You may need to boil longer. Do not overcook, otherwise the jam will be runny.
The pumpkin slices are soft. The water is drained. If this is not done, the jam will be liquid and of the water in the syrup will float on the surface.
Boiled pieces Porirua.
Squeeze of lemon juice.
Pour the juice into a puree. Min put on a fire and proverjaem 1 minute.
In the boiling puree pour 1/3 of the white sugar and whole cane sugar. Cook for 30 minutes. The more the mixture will mix, the better!
Pour the remaining sugar. Proverjaem 20-25 minutes. Every 5 minutes stir. Be ostrozhny, when boiling the jam may spill hot drops. Can't touch this!
Check the jam on the quality. Take a teaspoon of the product, cools it and try. If we like the taste, add honey, stir, bring to a boil and switch off. PS: the Density of cellulose in different varieties of pumpkin different from each other. I pointed out the time provarci jam after adding the second portion of sugar - 20-25 minutes. I advise you, my dear, to try the product and depending on his willingness to continue to reduce or remove from heat. I one day came across a pumpkin that has been boiled for 50 minutes.
The jam is ready. It is thick, the color of amber and ripe with the smell of honey. If you want to preserve the jam, you put boiling hot into jars and cuprite. Can be stored at room t!!! In the vases jam lies a week. More we did not stay!
