Pumpkin and dried fruit jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil - olive or grape seed oil and fry the diced pumpkin.

2. STEP 2

   

   This is what pumpkin looks like when fried over high heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now let’s add the rest of the ingredients of this extraordinary sugar-free jam. 1.5 cups of dried fruit mixture. I focused on cranberries dried in apple juice as a source of vitamin C, but you can use any dried fruit in different proportions depending on the effect you want to get. For example, if you have insufficient intestinal activity, you can take more prunes, and if you have heart disease, you can take more dried apricots.

4. STEP 4

   

   Water - 3/4 cup, a teaspoon of cinnamon and according to the recipe, 5 tablespoons of date honey. But I'll only take 3 tablespoons of silane and 2 maple syrup. This will slightly reduce the calorie content and add nuances of taste. Mix everything, close the lid and cook over low heat for about an hour.

5. STEP 5

   

   Once the pumpkin jam has cooled, you can decorate it with walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

Good afternoon, interesting recipe, but what does pre-frying the pumpkin do if everything then cooks for about an hour?
