Chef tips
To achieve the perfect texture, cut the pumpkin into uniform cubes. This ensures even cooking, allowing the pieces to hold their shape and soak up the orange syrup without falling apart. For a personal touch, add a cinnamon stick or cardamom pods to the syrup. Kids will love helping decorate the jars, and the jam is delicious with fresh challah or as a unique side for meat dishes.
