Easy Brazilian Pumpkin Coconut Dessert with Few Ingredients image

This pumpkin dessert is very famous in Brazil and is eaten everywhere - we call it Doce de Abóbora com Coco. You only need 5 ingredients. Serve cold or at room temperature. It is usually eaten with queso fresco, but I like to serve it with goat cheese or eat it on bread.

Number Of Ingredients 7

- 2 kg pumpkin pulp cut in cubes
- 1.6 kg brown sugar
- a bit of water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- zest of 1 lemon
- juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons (may substitute one lemon, one orange)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon stick and a bit of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  • Once pumpkin is soft and cooked (about an hour) add ground cinnamon. Simmer for 15 min more, then remove from heat, stir in lemon zest and juice, and with a hand blender blend to jam consistency.
  • While the jam is cooking, prepare caner, sterilize jars and screw rings. For the lids, place them in a small saucepan filled with water, bring to a boil, remove from heat and set the pan aside.
  • Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving ½ inch head space. Remove air bubbles with a non-metallic spatula and adjust head space as necessary by adding hot jam.
  • Wipe rim clean with a damp cloth and place hot lid disc on jar. Screw band down until fingertip-tight, then place jars in caner and return to a boil.
  • Process for 15 minutes but remember to adjust for altitude. Remove jars and let stand for at least 24 hours on a towel-lined surface.
  • Check lids and refrigerate or reprocess any jars that aren't sealed. Finally label and date the jars.
