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.
To make Pumpkin Ginger Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
In a saucepan, stir the pumpkin and sugar together until coated. Cover with the lid and set aside for 8 hours to overnight.
In a food processor, blend the unpeeled lemon wedges until smooth and puréed.
In a saucepan over high heat, combine sweetened pumpkin with lemon purée and ginger and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 30 minutes, until pumpkin is translucent but holds shape.
Mash mixture to a desired jam consistency.
In a large pot of boiling water, place the jars and lids and boil for 5 minutes. Once sterilized, fill hot jars with pumpkin jam and seal with lids.
Allow to cool before refrigerating. Use within a month.

I whippped up this Pumpkin Ginger Jam last weekend and it blew my mind. The flavors are bomb. I always grab pumpkin at the market, but this jam is my new jam. Totally recommend it!
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!
Thank you! Approved!
