Steps:
- Wash the lemon, pat dry and grate the zest. Remove the white pith and discard. Cut the lemon flesh into smaller pieces.
- Place pumpkin, water, lemon flesh and grated ginger into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook on a low heat, covered, until the pumpkin flesh is softened. Remove the lid for the last 5 to 10 minutes, so the extra moisture could evaporate.
- Smash the pumpkin flesh with a wooden spoon until broken (or press through a fine sieve, if you want a very smooth jam).
- Add the jam sugar and grated lemon zest, and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Spoon the hot jam into sterilised jars and close immediately.

PUMPKIN GINGER JAM
I always loved pumpkin preserves, but this recipe is my favorite. You may decide to omit ginger and only add lemon, but in my opinion ginger makes it very special.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent scorching.
- Stir the jam frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Test the jam for doneness by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate and letting it cool for a few minutes. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- If you are using a candy thermometer, the jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
- Store the jam in clean, sterilized jars in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to a year.
