pumpkin jellies


making new friends who know how to properly preserve things by canning is the best!

on the left- a savory jelly of white pumpkin, jalepeno, fennel, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, red flakes. cooked with sugar, salt and vinegar.

on the right- arrop. a spanish sauce. sweet pumpkin cooked in grape must. couldn't locate a recipe to work off of, but tried to imagine it goes like this: cooked concord grapes with a few cloves and cinnamon for the thick juice. cooked pumpkin in the juice and some red wine. added some citrus zest and juice and a touch of sugar to help it with getting syrupy.

a nice side effect: pumpkin seeds. toasted with oil and salt till you could smell them.
