How to Make Pumpkin-and-Orange Jam

Ingredients:

6.6 lbs of peeled pumpkin
4.4 lbs of sugar
2 oranges

Cut the pumpkin into cubes, sprinkle with sugar, and let it sit for 15 minutes to release its juices. Place the pot over low heat and simmer for about 3 hours, stirring constantly. Meanwhile, zest the oranges with a fine grater, using only the thin orange outer layer. Remove and discard the white pith to prevent bitterness. Peel the oranges and blend them into a puree. After 3 hours, take the pumpkin mixture off the heat and blend it into a smooth puree. Pour the pumpkin puree back into the pot, add the orange puree and the zest, and return the pot to low heat. Cook the jam for another hour, stirring constantly. When the jam is ready, pour it into pre-sterilized jars and seal with lids.
