Snowy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I found this recipe in a book of preserves - don't know if anyone has come across it before. It sounds delicious and with pumpkin time upon us, thought someone may be able to use it! 1.5kg orange pumpkin, seeded, peeled and roughly diced 600g maple syrup 300g clear honey a couple of cinnamon sticks (optional) Sterilise enough jars to hold about 2 litres In a jam or thick bottomed saucepan, heat all the ingredients. When the liquid starts to simmer, skim off any froth that develops. Gently boil for about one and a half hours, skimming off any froth. At the end of cooking, discard the cinnamon sticks. Either decant into jars as it is, or blend it to make a smooth 'curd'. It is also suggested that this makes a good pie filling - whisk up 300ml of pumpkin spread with 150ml double cream, 2 eggs and 4 yolks, add 80g of raspberries and fill a sweet pastry case. bake at 150c for up to an hour. Check after 45 minutes - when the filling starts to set from the sides inwards, it is ready. If anyone manages to make these - come and let me know!

chickencam Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Presumably buying the syrup for this would cost a fortune, sounds interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..lay a little egg for me Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Presumably buying the syrup for this would cost a fortune, sounds interesting though. Around £10 by my calculation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
