Ingredients

  1. 1 kgpumpkin, peeled and cut into pieces.
  2. 700 gramsgranulated sugar
  3. 1cinnamon stick, (I added 2 sticks)
  4. 1 tspOrange peel, grated
  5. 1 tspvanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the pumpkin in water for around 30 to 40 minutes. You want it soft enough to be able to mash it.

  2. 2

    When cooked drain the pumpkin in a sieve for a good while. Then mash well making sure there is no lumps.

  3. 3

    Add the mashed pumpkin back into the sieve. The pumpkin will hold a lot of water so you want to lose as much of that water as possible. I used a good amount of kitchen roll to squeeze some of the water out of the pumpkin.

  4. 4

    On a medium to low heat, In the same pan used to boil the pumpkin, add all the above ingredients including the mashed pumpkin.

  5. 5

    Simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Stirring regularly ensuring it's not sticking to the bottom.

  6. 6

    When it's cooked through remove the cinnamon sticks

  7. 7

    Transfer the compote to a sterilised glass jar, leave the lid off until its completely cooled off.

  8. 8

    Seal and store upto 1 month in a cool dry place.
