Pumpkin marmalade with gelatin at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make pumpkin marmalade? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can take absolutely any honey, but the final result will depend on its color. The darker the honey, the darker the marmalade will turn out. In addition, keep in mind that honey can cause allergic reactions. It can be replaced with sugar or any sweetener to your liking.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fill gelatin with cold boiled water and let it swell for 40 minutes. Or do as it is written in the instructions for your gelatin variety. Also read tips and useful information on how to properly soak it, heat it and add it to other ingredients in the article about gelatin at the link under the steps.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, cut into pieces. The denser the pumpkin, the smaller it is desirable to cut it. In any baking dish, fold the pumpkin pieces into one layer and pour about 2 tablespoons of water (this is part of the 100 ml indicated in the ingredients, as it boils, you can add more or 2 tablespoons will be enough).

4. Step 4:

   

   Put in a hot oven and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. It should become soft and easy to warm up when pressed with a fork. If this is not the case, continue to bake until the desired consistency. Make sure that the pumpkin does not burn, if you see that all the water has boiled away, and the pumpkin is still hard, add a little more water if necessary.

5. Step 5:

   

   Remove the finished pumpkin and cool to room temperature. Add honey to it and mix. If the honey is very thick, then add it to a warm pumpkin, so it will become thinner and it will be easier to mix.

7. Step 6:

   

   Punch everything with a blender until smooth. If desired, you can also wipe the puree through a sieve.

8. Step 7:

   

   Dissolve the swollen gelatin in any convenient way. This can be done in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Mix everything well with a spoon until smooth.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cover any suitable form with a film and pour the pumpkin mass into it. Note that the larger the shape, the thinner the marmalade will turn out.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the mold with the marmalade mass in a cold place for 3-4 hours. The mass should solidify and become dense. Then take out and cut the layer into candy cubes. If desired, they can be rolled in sugar or powdered sugar. It is better to store them in a cool place.
