Cooking instructions

* Step 1

First of all, remove all the seeds.

* Step 2

You should remove all the fiber around the seeds.

* Step 3

Then, remove the peel and cut the pumpkin flesh into lozenge pieces.

* Step 4

Place as much water in a bowl as is needed to cover the pumpin pieces thoroughly, dissolve 2-3 tbsp pickling lime in it and set it aside for 2-3 hours.

* Step 5

Rinse the pumpkin pieces thoroughly with plenty of water, discarding it and using fresh for each rinse.

* Step 6

Boil the pumpkin pieces in plenty of water.

* Step 7

When it starts to boil, I always discard this water and use fresh to make sure that there is no residue of pickling lime left.

* Step 8

Using fresh water, boil the pumpkin pieces until they are almost tender.

* Step 9

Empty them in a strainer to strain and prepare the syrup.

* Step 10

Use1 1/2 kg of sugar and about 2 1/2 cups water (the pumpkin will let out some liquids as well) per 1 kg of pumpkin. Boil the water with the sugar for about 5 minutes and add the piece to the syrup. Let everything boil together until the syrup thickens. Meanwhile, while boiling, don't forget to skim off the foam.
