Pumpkin Preserves image

This recipe sounds intriguing and just right for the fall season. I clipped it from a magazine. I haven't made it, but would love to hear feedback. I am thinking that some diced candied ginger would add to the flavour. NOTE: Prep time does not include time it takes to prepare jars. It is an estimation of the time needed to peel & cube the pumpkin.

I'm not a fan of pumpkin, but I actually really enjoyed these preserves. They're not too sweet and have a nice tart flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my preserves turned out runny. I think I might have cooked them for too long. Oh well, they still taste good!

These preserves are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've never been a big fan of pumpkin, but these preserves have changed my mind. They're so good, I could eat them straight out of the jar!

I was skeptical at first, but these preserves are surprisingly delicious! The pumpkin flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the spices add a nice warmth. I'll definitely be making these again.
