Sweet and spicy, this Pumpkin Ginger Jam is another fall favorite of mine. I buy kilos of fresh pumpkin from the local grocer and love experimenting with all sorts of recipes varying from different pies to jams and jellies.

An easy one hour cook of pumpkin chunks with fresh ginger, white sugar and some lemon, to enhance the flavors of the jam making it unique and tasty.

Scrumptious. I tried this jam on toast for breakfast, and it reminded me of my grandma's kitchen during fall. So full of flavor and really easy to make. It's a new favorite for sure.

Hice esta mermelada de calabaza con mis hijos y fue realmente divertido. La mezcla del jengibre y el azúcar resalta los sabores del otoño. ¡Nos encantó usarla en tostadas por la mañana!
