Pumpkin compote

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   For this dish, we prepare all the ingredients we need and then we will figure out how to cook pumpkin compote for the winter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pumpkin comes in different varieties, choose sweet and juicy ones. We clean the pumpkin from the peel and seeds. There should also be no fibrous part on it. Now cut it into small neat cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the cubes in a convenient deep bowl and cover with sugar.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add water. We try to use a bowl or pan in which the water will only lightly cover the chopped pumpkin. Place the pumpkin on the stove over medium heat, let it heat up and pour in the vinegar. Vinegar is needed to ensure that the pumpkin pieces remain intact and beautiful. One more point: the vinegar must be strong.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cook our compote until fully cooked. This will take about twenty minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the pumpkin is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool. Before trying this compote, you need to cool it, keep in mind.

I'm interested in a recipe for pumpkin compote for the winter. The cooking process is not complicated. Pieces of peeled pumpkin were covered with sugar, poured with water, brought to a boil, and vinegar was added (the author explains that the vinegar should be strong, I used 70% essence). I cooked the compote over low heat for about 20 minutes; it’s better, of course, to focus on the readiness of the pumpkin; it became soft, but the pieces retained their shape. The smell of vinegar essence disappeared when boiled; for aroma, I boiled a piece of lemon in compote (5-7 minutes). I poured the finished compote into a sterilized jar, sealed it tightly and left it to cool under a warm blanket. There was a little compote left, I tried it))) It’s very tasty! Thanks to the author for the new recipe!

What do you mean: strong vinegar? There is vinegar 5%, 9% and there is vinegar essence 70%. What kind of vinegar should I add?

Wow! What a beauty! I was looking for some new recipe for compote, and I found such a treasure. For us, pumpkin always ended up “on the margins.” But, since this is a very healthy vegetable, I try to find “not hackneyed” recipes. I even made jam according to a recipe from a 1951 cookbook - I used lime water instead of vinegar. It turned out very tasty. I’ve never seen anything that can be made into compote from pumpkin. Thanks for the recipe! Should I sterilize the jars for the winter? Or can you pour and boil three times, and then preserve?
