Pumpkin Preserves

This is a recipe my mother always made in the fall after Halloween. It resembles marmalade both in texture and taste and serves as a wonderful glaze for ham as well as a delightful topping for ice-cream.

Ingredients

desired cups of pumpkin

sugar (1 cup to 2 cups pumpkin)

2 to 3 oranges

1 to 2 lemons

1 dozen or so cloves, whole

Cube meat of pumpkin. Measure out one cup of sugar to every two cups of pumpkin and layer in roasting pan, along with slices (small) of oranges and lemons; allow to sit over night. Place over medium heat and add cloves; allow to cook, stirring frequently, until pumpkin is transparent -- a couple of hours. Fill mason jars, seal and keep refrigerated until used.
