Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 two-pound sugar pumpkin, seeded, peeled, and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, strained

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pumpkin in a roasting pan, and cover tightly with foil. Bake until pumpkin is very tender, about 45 minutes. Transfer pumpkin pieces to the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth.
  • Place pureed pumpkin into a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until very thick, about 25 minutes. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice; cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cool and serve, or store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
