Instructions

  1. 1. Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, peel it, and grate it coarsely. Peel the pears, quarter them, remove the core and seeds, and dice them. Rinse the lemon, finely grate about 1 tsp of the zest, halve it, and squeeze out the juice.
  2. 2. In a pot, cook the pumpkin with apple juice for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Add the pear cubes, lemon zest, and juice, mix in the gelling sugar, and let it rest for about 3 hours.
  3. 3. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally, and let it simmer gently for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. 4. For the gelling test, put 1 tsp of the jam on a cold plate. If the jam thickens after about 1 minute, it can be processed further. If not, extend the cooking time by about 1–2 minutes and repeat the gelling test.
  5. 5. Carefully skim off any foam with a spoon. Fill the hot pumpkin-pear jam into clean screw-top jars. Seal the jars and let them cool upside down. Enjoy!
