My Welcome to Maine Fall Pumpkin Jam image

This recipe is for canning. I adore anything to do with pumpkin sweet or savory. Pumpkin soup, puree, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cakes and breads. This is all about New England and what a Maine fall is to me. I prefer the smaller "sugar pumpkins" or the "milk/cheese pumpkin" which has a white-ish peel. I do recommend using the fresh pumpkin. You can do anything with this from spreading on toast to replacing canned pumpkin in sweet recipes. Try on a hot scone,Mmm!

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 8oz Jar, 128 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lbs fresh pumpkin or 5 lbs canned pumpkin
1 lb dried apricot
1 lb seedless raisin
2 1/2 lbs sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • If using fresh pumpkin, peel, remove seeds, cut into 2-3" chunks and place in large pot with enough water to prevent scorching. I use approximately 1/2 cup of water.
  • When soft, mash and sieve pumpkin to make a puree of the pumpkin.
  • If watery, gently simmer to evaporate much of this water. Add sugar and allow to stand for 12 hours. Cut apricots into eighths, approximately the size of your raisins.
  • Add raisins, apricots lemon juice, and spices to pumpkin which has stood with sugar.
  • Cook slowly on medium heat until the mixture is thickened. Seal, and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.

I love this jam! It's the perfect way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always make a big batch in the fall and enjoy it all winter long.

This pumpkin jam was so easy to make and it turned out beautifully. I used it to fill a pumpkin pie and it was the best pie I've ever had.

I made this jam for the first time last fall and it was a huge hit with my family and friends. The flavor is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.

This pumpkin jam is a delicious and versatile treat! I love that it can be used as a spread on toast, a filling for pies and tarts, or even as a glaze for roasted meats.
